Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)
John Michael Montgomery
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
Chorus 1
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
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
Chorus 2
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
She's got ruby red lips, blonde hair, blue eyes
And I'm about to bid my heart goodbye
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
She's got ruby red lips, blonde hair, blue eyes
And 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
Repeat Chorus 1
