Lyrics
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 tryna 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 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, yes i'm the queen of the silver dollar, i rule this smokey kingdom, scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne, now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors, to see which one will take the, queen of the silver dollar home, yes i'm the queen of the silver dollar, i rule this smokey kingdom, scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne, now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors, to see which one will take the, queen of the silver dollar home
