Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)

Well I went down to the Grundy County Auction

Where I saw somethin' 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 gimme a sign?

I'd give anything to make you mine, all mine

I'll do your biddin' and be at your beck and call"

Yeah, I've 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 to 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' 'bout a mile a minute

He was takin' bids and callin' them out loud

And I guess I was really gettin' in it

'Cause I just shouted out above the crowd

And I said, "Hey, pretty lady! Won't you gimme a sign?

I'd give anything to make you mine, all mine

I'll do your biddin' and be at your beck and call"

Yeah, I've 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 to 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 gimme a sign?

I'd give anything to make you mine, all mine

I'll do your biddin' and be at your beck and call"

Yeah, I've 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 to 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 hee
