She arrives in all her splendor each night at nine oclock

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 Dollars home again



Chorus: Shes 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 its shabby and its torn

Her royal jewels are rhinestones her shoes are scuffed and worn

Of the many roads shes been down, and the places that shes seen

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



Chorus:



Now the Queen of the Silver Dollar is not as haughty as she seems

She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams

But theres a man who found her and he brought her to this world

Hes the one who made a queen of a simple country girl



Chorus:
