Verse:

Ain't it funny that paper money don't seem like genuine jack,
And ev'ry check has a knack of jumpin' and a-bumpin' and bouncin' back?
I like nothin' but silver dollars and I've collected a few,
When silver starts in ringin', it rings so true;

Chorus 1:

My silver dollar man, he ain't a "tie and collar" man,
A "rough and ready" man, but he's a mighty steady man;
And though he can't supply a lot of luxuries that I demand,
He never leaves me till he leaves a bit of silver in my hand, he's grand!
He does the best he can upon the easy-payment plan,
You don't know how my heart feels, when those cartwheels start to chime,
But I'm sure I'd love him if he didn't have a dime,
He'd still be divine, that silver dollar man of mine.

Chorus 2:

My silver dollar man, he ain't a "tie and collar" man,
A "rough and ready" man, but he's a mighty steady man;
And though he can't supply a lot of luxuries that I demand,
He never leaves me till he leaves a bit of silver in my hand, he's grand!
He does the best he can upon the easy-payment plan,
You don't know how my heart feels, when those cartwheels start to chime,
But I'm sure I'd love him if he didn't have a dime,
He'd still be divine, that silver dollar man of mine.
He's so divine, that silver dollar man of mine.
