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.
Then the old piano minstrel
Plays her song as she walks in,
And the Queen of the Silver Dollar's home again.

She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar,
And she rules this smoky kingdom.
And her scepter is a wine glass,
And this bar stool is her throne.
And the jesters flock around her,
And fight to win her favors
And see which one will take the Queen
Of the Silver Dollar home.

Her royal gown is a satin dress
That's stained and slightly torn.
And her sparklin' jewels are rhinestones,
And her shoes are scuffed and worn
From the many roads she's traveled
And the wondrous sites she's seen.
And I watch her and I pray.
God save the Queen.

The Queen of the Silver Dollar's
Not as haughty as she seems.
She was once an ordinary girl
With ordinary dreams,
But I found her and I won her.
And I brought her into this world.
Yes, I'm the man who made a Queen
Of a simple country girl.

Now she's the Queen of the Silver Dollar,
And she rules this smoky kingdom.
And her scepter is a wine glass,
And this bar stool is her throne.
And the jesters flock around her
And fight to win her favors
And see which one will take the Queen
Of the Silver Dollar home.

Paragraph Lyric

She arrives with all her splendor each night at nine o'clock
And her chariot is the crosstown bus that stops right down the block
Now the old piano minstrel plays her song as she walks in
And the Queen of the Silver Dollar's home again
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar...

Now her royal dress is a satin it's shabby and it's torn
Her royal jewels're rhinestones her shoes are scuffed and worn
On the many a road she's been down and the places that she's seen
And they all look at her and say God save the Queen
Now the Queen of the Silver Dollar is not as naughty as she seems
She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams
There's a man who found her and brought her to this world
I'm the one who made the Queen of a simple country girl
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar...

She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar she rules this smoky kingdom And her sceptre is a wine glass and her barstool is her throne Now the jesters they flock around her tryin' to win their favors And see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home She arrives with all her splendor each night at nine o'clock And her chariot is the crosstown bus that stops right down the block Now the old piano minstrel plays her song as she walks in And the Queen of the Silver Dollar's home again She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar... Now her royal dress is a satin it's shabby and it's torn Her royal jewels're rhinestones her shoes are scuffed and worn On the many a road she's been down and the places that she's seen And they all look at her and say God save the Queen Now the Queen of the Silver Dollar is not as naughty as she seems She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams There's a man who found her and brought her to this world I'm the one who made the Queen of a simple country girl She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar...
