Sold (Grundy County Auction Incident) lyrics by Michael Montgomery
Well I went down to theGrundy 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
and make a bid on that"
And I said, Hey, pretty lady,
won't you give me a sign
I'd give anything to
make you mine all mine
I'll be at your bidding
I'll be at your beckon call
Yeah, I've never seen
anyone looking so fine
Oh Man, I gotta have her,
she's a one of a kind
I'm going once,
going 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
And I'm about
to bid my heart goodbye
Well, the auctioneer
was goin' about a mile a minute
He was taking bids
and calling them out loud
And I guess I was
really getting in it
'Cause I just shouted
out above the crowd
And I said, Hey, pretty lady,
won't you give me a sign
I'd give anything to
make you mine all mine
I'll be at your bidding
I'll be at your beckon call
Yeah, I've never seen
anyone looking so fine
Oh Man, I gotta have her,
she's a one of a kind
I'm going once,
going 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 goodbye
Yeah, we found love
on the auction block
and 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't you give me a sign
I'd give anything to
make you mine all mine
I'll be at your bidding
I'll be at your beckon call
Yeah, I've never seen
anyone looking so fine
Oh Man, I gotta have her,
she's a one of a kind
I'm going once,
going 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
And I'm about
to bid my heart goodbye
