One silver dollar, Bright silver dollar
Changing hands, Changing hands
Endlessly rolling,Wasted and 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 chime
Gambled and spent, and wasted. And lost in a dust of time
