Queen of the Silver Dollar

She arrives in all her splendor

Each night at nine o'clock

Her chariot is the crosstown bus

That stops right down the block

Now the old piano minstrel plays her tune as she walks in

And the Queen of the Silver Dollar's home again

She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar

She rules this smokey kingdom

Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is her throne

Now the jesters flock around her tryin' to win her favors

To see which one will take the

Queen of the Silver Dollar home

Now her royal dress is satin

It's shabby and it's torn

The royal jewels are rhinestones

The shoes are scuffed and worn

Of the many roads she's been down,

And the places that she's seen

Well they all look at her and say God save the queen

Now the Queen of the Silver Dollar

Is not as haughty as she seems

She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams

But there's a man who found her

And he brought her to this world

He's the one who made a queen of a simple country girl

Yes I'm the Queen of the Silver Dollar

I rule this smokey kingdom

Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne

Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors

To see which one will take the

Queen of the Silver Dollar home

Yes I'm the Queen of the Silver Dollar

I rule this smokey kingdom

Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne

Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors

To see which one will take the

Queen of the Silver Dollar home
