Queen of the Silver Dollar

Lyrics

[Intro] She's the queen of the silver dollar and she rules this smoky kingdom And her scepter is a wine glass, and the bar stool is her throne And the jesters, they flock around her and they fight to win her favors And see which one will take the queen of the silver dollar home Yeah, yeah [Verse 1] She arrives in all her splendor every night at nine o'clock And her chariot is a crosstown 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, yeah [Chorus] She's the queen of the silver dollar, and she rules this smoky kingdom And her scepter is a wine glass and the bar stool is her throne, uh And the jesters flock around her, and fight to win her favors And see which one will take the queen of the silver dollar home, ah Yeah, ah [Verse 2] Her royal gown is a satin dress that's stained and slightly torn And her sparkling jewels are rhinestones, and her shoes are scuffed and worn From the many roads she's traveled and the wonderous sights she's seen And I watch her and I pray, "God save the queen" Yeah, yeah [Chorus] She's the queen of the silver dollar, and she rules this smoky kingdom And her scepter is a wine glass and the bar stool is her throne And the jesters flock around her, and fight to win her favors And see which one will take the queen of the silver dollar home [Verse 3] The queen of the silver dollar is not as haughty as she seems She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams But I found her 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 [Chorus] Now she's the queen of the silver dollar, and she rules this smoky kingdom And her scepter is a wine glass and the bar stool is her throne And the jesters flock around her, and fight to win her favors And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home [Outro] She's the queen of the silver dollar, and she rules this smoky kingdom And her scepter is a wine glass
