Sold (the Grundy County Auction Indident)

(richard fagan/robb royer)



Well i went down to the grundy county auction

Where i saw something i just had to have

My mind told me i should proceed with caution

But my heart said, "go ahead an' make a bid on that!"



An' i said, hey, pretty lady, won'cha gi'me a sign

I'd give anything to make you mine all mine

I'll do your biddin' an' be at your beckon call

Yeah, i never seen anyone lookin' so fine

Man, i gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind

I'm goin' once, goin' twice,

I'm sold! on the lady in the second row

She's an eight, she's a nine, she's a ten, i know

She's got ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes

An' i'm about to bid my heart good-bye!



Well, the auctioneer was goin' about a mile a minute

He was takin' bids an' callin' them out loud

An' i guess i was really gettin' in it

'cause i just shouted out above the crowd!



An' i said, hey, pretty lady, won'cha gi'me a sign

I'd give anything to make you mine all mine

I'll do your biddin' an' be at your beckon call

Yeah, i never seen anyone lookin' so fine

Man, i gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind

I'm goin' once, goin' twice,

I'm sold! on the lady in the long black dress

Well she won my heart it was no contest

With her ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes

Well i'm about to bid my heart good-bye!



Yeah, we found love on the auction block

An' i hauled her heart away

Now we still love to laugh about

The way we met that day



When i said, hey, pretty lady, won'cha gi'me a sign

I'd give anything to make you mine all mine

I'll do your biddin' an' be at your beckon call

Yeah, i never seen anyone lookin' so fine

Man, i gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind

I'm goin' once, goin' twice,

I'm sold! on the lady in the second row

She's an eight, she's a nine, she's a ten, i know

Shes's got ruby red lips, blond hair blue eyes

An' i'm about to bid my heart good-bye!
