Queen Of The Silver Dollar lyrics by Emmylou Harris
Artist: Emmylou HarrisTitle: Queen of the Silver Dollar
Composer: SILVERSTEIN SHEL
===============================
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
trying 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
Now the Queen of the
Silver Dollar is not
as haughty as she seems
She was once ordinary girl
with ordinary dreams
But there's a man who found her,
he brought her to this world
Yes, he's the one who made
a queen of a simple country girl
I'm the Queen of the
Silver Dollar
I rule this smokey kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass
a bar stool is my throne
Now the jesters flock
around me trying to
win my favors
See which one will take the
Queen of the Silver Dollar home
Yes I am the Queen
of the Silver Dollar
I rule this smokey kingdom
And scepter is a wine glass
and a bar stool is my throne
Now the jesters flock around me
trying to win my favors
to see which one
will take the Queen of
the Silver Dollar home
Yes I am the Queen
of the Silver Dollar
I rule this smokey kingdom
And scepter is a wine glass
and a bar stool is my throne
Now the jesters flock around me
trying to win my favors
to see which one will take the
Queen of the Silver Dollar home
Queen of the Silver Dollar
I rule this smokey kingdom
The scepter is a wine glass
and a bar stool is my throne
The jesters flock around me
trying to win my favors
See which one will take
Queen of Silver Dollar home
