One Silver Dollar

One silver dollar

Bright silver dollar

Changing hands

Changing hands



Endlessly rolling

Wasted or stolen

Changing hands

Changing hands



Spent for a beer his trinket

Won by a gambler's lust

Pierced by an outlaw's bullet

And found in the blood red dust



One silver dollar

One silver dollar

Changing hands

Changing hands



Love is a shining dollar

Bright as a churchbell's schime

Gambled and spent, and wasted

And lost in a dust of time



One silver dollar

One silver dollar

Changing hearts

Changing lives

Changing hands
