Silver Dollar
Notes:
Jack Palmer with Clarke van Ness created "Aunt Jemina (Silver Dollar)" (1939), for an Aunt Jemina pancakes advertisement, and "Silver Dollar (Down and out)" (1950).
A MAN WITHOUT A WOMAN (SILVER DOLLAR)
(Written by Alfred Williams, ca. 1907)
A man without a woman is like a ship without a sail,
Is like a boat without a rudder, a kite without a tail.
A man without a woman is like a wreck upon the sand,
And if there's one thing worse, in this universe,
It's a woman, I said, a woman, it's a woman without a man!
Now you can roll a silver dollar 'cross the bar-room floor,
And it'll roll, 'cause it's round.
A woman never knows what a good man she's got,
Until she puts him down!
So listen, my honey, listen to me,
I want you to understand,
Just like a silver dollar goes from hand to hand,
A woman goes from man to man.
(Without a doubt).
A woman goes from man to man.
