Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)

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 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 o' 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, blonde hair, blue eyes

And I'm about to bid my heart goodbye

Well, the auctioneer was goin' about 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 give me a sign?

I'd give anything to make you mine o' 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

Plus she won my heart, it was no contest

With her ruby red lips, blonde 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

And we still love and 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 o' 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, blonde hair, blue eyes

And I'm about to bid my heart goodbye
