One More Day

One more day They said we'd be home for christmas But I'm still here today One more day I went to see the first lieutenant He said shut up and wait One more day, no word We don't pick no more trees 'til the union ok If they don't get a contract soon Then I don't think we can stay One more day, no word All alone, all my friends are gone Ears of stone, eyes gone blind Too little to do and too much time I haven't seen my girl in a year last july She hasn't even written a letter but I try not to cry One more day, no word
