| | | Artist: | EMMYLOU HARRIS |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Queen Of The Silver Dollar | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 109 | | | | Lyrics: | (Shel Silverstein)
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 tryina_T 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
