One silver dollar
Bright silver dollar
Changing hands, changing hands
And lustily rollin',
Wasted and stolen
Changing hands, changing hands
Spent for a beer he's drinking
Won by a gambler's lost
Pierced by an outlaw's bullet
And lost in the blood red dust
One silver dollar, worn silver dollar
Changing hands, changing hands
Love is a shining dollar,
Bright as a church bell's chime
Gambled and spent, and wasted
And lost in the dust of time
One silver dollar, worn silver dollar
Changing hearts, changing lives
Changing hands.
