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 chime

Gambled and spent, and wasted

And lost in a dust of time

One silver dollar

One silver dollar

Changing hearts

Changing lives

Changing hands
