Silver dol lar, roll it, roll it around
Now you can throw a silver dollar
down upon the ground
And it'll roll because it's round
A woman never knows
what a good man she's got
Until she turn s him down
Down, down, down
Listen, my honey, you'll listen to me
I want you to understand
That a silver dol lar goes
from hand to hand
So a woman goes from man to man,
a woman goes from man to man
A man without a woman
is like a ship without a sail
A boat without a rudder
or a fish without a tail
A man without a woman
is like a wreck upon the sand
There's only one thing
worse in the universe
And that's a woman
I said a woman
I mean a woman without a man
You can throw a silver dollar
Down upon the ground
And if we're old
Because it's ground
A woman never knows
What a good man she's got
Until she turns him down
Down, down, down
So listen, my honey
Listen to me, I want you to understand
That a sil ver dollar goes
from hand to hand
A woman goes from man to man
A woman goes from man to man
Now you can throw yourself a dollar
down upon the ground,
and it'll roll because it's round.
A woman never knows
what a good man she's got
until she turns him down.
Down, down, down.
Listen, my honey, oh, listen to me
I want you to understand
That a silver dol lar
goes from hand to hand
So a woman goes from man to man
A woman goes from man to man
Silver dollar rolling round
Oh, a silver dol lar
goes from hand to hand
And a woman goes from man to man
