Queen of the Silver Dollar - 2003 Remaster

Lyrics

She arrives in all her splendor each night at nine o'clock
 Her chariot is the crosstown bus that stops right down the block
 Now the old piano minstrel plays her tune as she walks in
 And the Queen of the Silver Dollar's home again
 She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar
 She rules this smokey kingdom
 Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is her throne
 Now the jesters flock around her tryin' to win her favors
 To see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home
 Now her royal dress is satin, it's shabby and it's torn
 The royal jewels are rhinestones, the 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"
 She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar
 She rules this smokey kingdom
 Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is her throne
 Now the jesters flock around her tryin' to win her favors
 To see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home
 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
 Yes, I'm the Queen of the Silver Dollar
 I rule this smokey kingdom
 Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne
 Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors
 To see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home
 Yes I'm the Queen of the Silver Dollar
 I rule this smokey kingdom
 Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne
 Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors
 To see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home
