I came across these two in our search for tunes for songs in the DT. I remember Dusty Springfield singing these in the early 60s on a Springfields album before she went solo. But I think she sang them as one song. So:
- Are these two songs or one?
- Are there any more verses to either?
- Shouldn't the end of Silver Dollar be "from man to man"?
SILVER DOLLAR
You can take a silver dollar and drop it on 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
So listen, my honey, listen to me
I want you to understand
As a silver dollar goes from hand to hand
So does a woman go from hand to hand
MAN WITHOUT A WOMAN
Now a man without a woman is like a ship without a sail
Is like a boat without a rudder, or a shirt without a tail
Now a man without a woman is like a wreck upon the sand
But if there is one thing worse in this universe
Then it's a woman, I said a woman
I mean a woman without a man
Wassail! V
