Queen of the Silver Dollar
She's the queen of the Silver Dollar
And she rules this smoky kingdom
And her sceptre is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne
And the jesters flock around her
And fight to win her favours
And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home
She arrives in all her splendour
Every night at nine o'clock
And her chariot is a cross-town bus
That stops right down the block
The ol' piano minstrel
Plays a song as she walks in
And the queen of the Silver Dollar
She's home again, that's right
She's the queen of the Silver Dollar
And she rules this smoky kingdom
And her sceptre is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne
And the jesters flock around her
And they fight to win her favours
And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home
Her royal gown is a satin dress
That's stained and slightly torn
And her sparklin' jewels are rhinestones
And her shoes are scuffed and worn
Fond of every road she's travelled
And the wondrous sights she's seen
And I watch her and I pray to God, save the Queen
Yes, she needs it
She's the queen of the Silver Dollar
And she rules this smokey kingdom
And her sceptre is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne
And then the jesters flock around her
And fight to win her favours
And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home
That's right
She's home
Home, everybody
The queen of the Silver Dollar
She's not as hearty as she seems
She was once an ordinary girl
With ordinary dreams
But I found her, yes, and I won her
And I brought her to this world
Yes, I'm the man who made a queen
Of a simple country girl
She's the queen of the Silver Dollar
And she rules this smoky kingdom
And her sceptre is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne
And then the jesters flock around her
And they fight to win her favours
And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home
She's the queen of the Silver Dollar
And she rules this smoky kingdom
And her sceptre is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne
And the jesters, flock around her
And they fight to win her favours
And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home
She's home
Thank you!
And she rules this smoky kingdom
And her sceptre is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne
And the jesters flock around her
And fight to win her favours
And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home
She arrives in all her splendour
Every night at nine o'clock
And her chariot is a cross-town bus
That stops right down the block
The ol' piano minstrel
Plays a song as she walks in
And the queen of the Silver Dollar
She's home again, that's right
She's the queen of the Silver Dollar
And she rules this smoky kingdom
And her sceptre is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne
And the jesters flock around her
And they fight to win her favours
And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home
Her royal gown is a satin dress
That's stained and slightly torn
And her sparklin' jewels are rhinestones
And her shoes are scuffed and worn
Fond of every road she's travelled
And the wondrous sights she's seen
And I watch her and I pray to God, save the Queen
Yes, she needs it
She's the queen of the Silver Dollar
And she rules this smokey kingdom
And her sceptre is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne
And then the jesters flock around her
And fight to win her favours
And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home
That's right
She's home
Home, everybody
The queen of the Silver Dollar
She's not as hearty as she seems
She was once an ordinary girl
With ordinary dreams
But I found her, yes, and I won her
And I brought her to this world
Yes, I'm the man who made a queen
Of a simple country girl
She's the queen of the Silver Dollar
And she rules this smoky kingdom
And her sceptre is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne
And then the jesters flock around her
And they fight to win her favours
And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home
She's the queen of the Silver Dollar
And she rules this smoky kingdom
And her sceptre is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne
And the jesters, flock around her
And they fight to win her favours
And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home
She's home
Thank you!
