Queen of the Silver Dollar

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She's the queen of the silver dollar, and she rules this smoky kingdom

And her scepter is a wine glass
