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 sign?
|
I'd give anything to make you mine, oh mine
|
I'll do your biddin' and be at your beckoning call.
|
Ya, I've never seen anyone lookin' so fine,
|
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, blonde hair, blue eyes,
|
and I'm about to bid my heart good-bye.
|
|
The auctioneer was going 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 shouted out above the crowd
|
And I said,
|
|
|
"Hey pretty lady won't you give me sign?
|
I'd give anything to make you mine, oh mine
|
I'll do your biddin' and be at your beckoning call.
|
Ya, I've never seen anyone lookin' so fine,
|
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
|
She won my heart it was no contest
|
With the ruby red lips, blonde hair, blue eyes
|
Well I'm about to bid my heart good-bye.
|
|
Ya 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 sign?
|
I'd give anything to make you mine, oh mine
|
I'll do your biddin' and be at your beckoning call.
|
Ya, I've never seen anyone lookin' so fine,
|
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, blonde hair, blue eyes,
|
and I'm about to bid my heart good-bye.
