One Silver Dollar

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 schime Gambled and spent, and wasted And lost in a dust of time One silver dollar One silver dollar Changing hearts Changing lives Changing hands
