One Silver Dollar
Composer(s): Lionel Newman; Ken Darby
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe; Hal Schaefer; Vaya Con Dios



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
