One Silver Dollar Lyrics

One Silver Dollar

MUSIC: L. Newman

 LYRICS: K. Darby





 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
