OK, this is from memory. So if anyone has the actual source in front of
them, please feel free to correct me! This can be either a "girl" song
(a la Emmylou Harris) or a "guy" song (a la Dr. Hook). I'm giving you
the "girl" version, 'cause that's the way I learned it!

QUEEN OF THE SILVER DOLLAR
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 a tune as she walks in
And the Queen of the Silver Dollar's home again
CHORUS: She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar
She rules a smoky kingdom
Her sceptor is a wineglass and the barstool is her
throne
The jesters flock around her
Tryin' to win her favor
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 all scuffed and worn
Through all the roads she's been down and the places that she's seen
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 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...(etc.)

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
Chorus: 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 tryin’ 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
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

QUEEN OF THE SILVER DOLLAR
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar
And she rules this smoky kingdom
And her scepter is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne.
And the jesters flock around her
And fight to win her favor
And see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home.
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.
The old piano minstrel
Plays her song as she walks in.
And the Queen of the Silver Dollar is home again.
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar
And she rules this smoky kingdom
And her scepter is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne.
And the jesters flock around her
And fight to win her favour
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;
Her sparkling jewels are rhinestones
And her shoes are scuffed and worn
From the many roads she's travelled
And the wondrous sights she's seen
I watch her and I pray, God save the Queen.
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar
And she rules this smoky kingdom
And her scepter is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne.
And the jesters flock around her
And fight to win her favour
And see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home.
The Queen of the Silver Dollar
Is not as haughty as she seems.
She was once an ordinary girl
With ordinary dreams.
Till I found her and I won her
And I brought her to this world.
Yes I'm the one who made a queen
Of a simple country girl.
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar
And she rules this smoky kingdom
And her scepter is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne.
And the jesters flock around her
And fight to win her favour
And see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home.
