She arrives in all her splendor eachnight at nine o'clock

Herchariot is the crosstown bus that stops right down theblock

Now the old piano minstrel plays hertune as she walks in

And theQueen of the Silver Dollar's home again

Chorus: She's theQueen of theSilverDollar

She rules thissmokeykingdom

Scepteris awine glass and abar stool is herthrone

Now thejestersflock around her tryin' towin her

favors

To see whichone willtake the

Queen of theSilverDollarhome

Now her royal dress is satin it's shabby and it's torn

Her royal jewels are rhinestones her 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

Chorus:

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

Chorus:
