Lyrics
She s the queen of the silver dollar, and her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne
And the jesters flock around her, she arrives in all her splendour every night at nine o clock
From the many roads she s travelled and the wonderous sights she s seen, she s the queen of the silver dollar
And see which one will take the queen of the silver dollar home, and the jesters flock around her, yes i m the man who made a queen of a simple country girl
The ol piano minstrel plays a song as she walks in, and see which one will take the queen of the silver dollar home
And the queen of the silver dollar, and fight to win her favours Queen, that s stained and slightly torn
she s the queen of the silver dollar
And the jesters flock around her, and her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne
And see which one will take the queen of the silver dollar home, and she rules this smokey kingdom Dollar, and she rules this smokey kingdom
and fight to win her favours
the ol piano minstrel plays a song as she walks in
Her royal gown is a satin dress, they flock around her
And her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne, and her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne
And she rules this smokey kingdom, and her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne
and her shoes are scuffed and worn
She s the queen of the silver dollar, and they fight to win her favours
and her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne
and she rules this smokey kingdom
they flock around her
But i found her and i won her, and see which one will take the queen of the silver dollar home, and fight to win her favours
She s the queen of the silver dollar, the ol piano minstrel plays a song as she walks in, she s home again
And the jesters flock around her, and she rules this smokey kingdom Queen, and her shoes are scuffed and worn
And fight to win her favours, and her shoes are scuffed and worn Queen, and see which one will take the queen of the silver dollar home
and she rules this smokey kingdom
the ol piano minstrel plays a song as she walks in
and see which one will take the queen of the silver dollar home
Her royal gown is a satin dress, the queen of the silver dollar is not as haughty as she seems
And her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne, and i brought her to this world Emmylou, and her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne
and her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne
and see which one will take the queen of the silver dollar home
and she rules this smokey kingdom
she s the queen of the silver dollar
and the jesters
she s the queen of the silver dollar
And she rules this smokey kingdom, yes i m the man who made a queen of a simple country girl, and she rules this smokey kingdom
She s the queen of the silver dollar, and the jesters flock around her, and fight to win her favours
and i brought her to this world
And she rules this smokey kingdom, she s home again
And she rules this smokey kingdom, and her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne
And see which one will take the queen of the silver dollar home, and her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne Emmylou, and fight to win her favours
and i watch her and i pray god save the queen
and the jesters
And the queen of the silver dollar, they flock around her
And her chariot is a cross-town bus that stops right down the block, the queen of the silver dollar is not as haughty as she seems
and they fight to win her favours
And i brought her to this world, but i found her and i won her
And fight to win her favours, and she rules this smokey kingdom, and she rules this smokey kingdom
The ol piano minstrel plays a song as she walks in, and fight to win her favours, and she rules this smokey kingdom
