Lyrics

One silver dollar, bright silver dollar,

Changing hands, changing hands.

Endlessly rollin', wasted or stolen,

Changing hands, changing hands.

Spent for a beer he's drinking,

Won by a gambler's lust,

Pierced by an outlaw's bullet

And rusted in the blood red dust.

One silver dollar, worn silver dollar,

Changing hands, changing hands,

Love is a shining dollar,

Bright as a Church bell's chime

Gambled and spent and wasted,

And lost in a dart of time.

One silver dollar, worn silver dollar,

Changing hearts, changing lives,

Changing hands.

Written by: Ken Darby, Lionel Newman
