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 church bell's chime Gambled and spent and wasted And lost in a dust of time One silver dollar One silver dollar Changing lives Changing hearts Changing hands
