Lyrics Queen of the Silver Dollar - Philomena Begley

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 a 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
Her scepter is a wine glass
And a bar stool is her throne
Now the jesters flock around her
Trying to win her favor
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
All the places she has been
Well, they all look at her and say
"God save the Queen"

She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar
She rules the smokey kingdom
Her sceptre is a wine glass
And a bar stool is her throne
Now the jesters flock around her
Trying to win her favor
To see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home

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 brought her to this world
Yes, 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
My sceptre is a wine glass
And a bar stool is my throne
Now the jesters flock around me
Trying to win my favors
To see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home

I'm the Queen of the Silver Dollar
I rule this smokey kingdom
My sceptre is a wine glass
And a bar stool is my throne
Now the jesters flock around me
Trying 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
My sceptre is a wine glass
And a bar stool is my throne
Now jesters flock around me
Trying to win my favors
To see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home
