Artist: Emmylou Harris Title: 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
