One silver dollar, bright silver dollar Changing hands, changing hands. Endlessly rollin', wasted or stolen Changing hands, changing hands. Spent for a beer he's drinking Won by a gambler's lust Pierced by an outlaw's bullet And rusted 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 a dart of time. One silver dollar, worn silver dollar Changing hearts, changing lives Changing hands.
