Sold (the Grundy County Auction Indident) Lyrics

(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!
