Lyric 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
