She arrives in all her splendor eachnight at nine o'clock
Herchariot is the crosstown bus that stops right down theblock
Now the old piano minstrel plays hertune as she walks in
And theQueen of the Silver Dollar's home again
Chorus: She's theQueen of theSilverDollar
She rules thissmokeykingdom
Scepteris awine glass and abar stool is herthrone
Now thejestersflock around her tryin' towin her
favors
To see whichone willtake the
Queen of theSilverDollarhome
Now her royal dress is satin it's shabby and it's torn
Her royal jewels are rhinestones her 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
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 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
Chorus:
