She arrives in all her splendor Every night at nine o'clock And her chariot is the cross town 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 is home again Chorus She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar She rules this smokey kingdom Her scepter is a wine glass And this bar stool is her throne Now the jesters flock around her Tryin to win her favours To see which one will take The Queen Of the Silver Dollar home Now the 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 REPEAT Chorus The Queen of the Silver Dollar's 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 REPEAT Chorus to outro.
