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, "Son, go ahead and make a bid on that"
So 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 bidding and be at your beck and call"
I ain't never seen anyone looking so fine
Man, I gotta have her she's a one of a kind
I'm going once, going twice
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
I'm about to bid my heart goodbye

The auctioneer was goin' 'bout a mile a minute
He was taking bids and calling them out loud
I guess I was really getting in it
'Cause I just shouted out above the crowd
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 bidding and be at your beck and call"
I ain't never seen anyone lookin' so fine
Man, I gotta have her she's a one of a kind
I'm going once, going twice
Sold to the lady in the long black dress
She won my heart, it was no contest
With them ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes
I'm about to bid my heart goodbye

Yeah, we found love on the auction block and she hauled my heart away
I can tell what it does when I tell her that I love
The way we met that day
When I said, "Hey pretty lady, won't you gimme a sign? (Gimme a sign)
I'd give anything to make you mine all mine (mine all mine)
I'll do your bidding and be at your beck and call"
I ain't never seen anyone lookin' so fine
Man, I gotta have her she's a one of a kind
I'm going once, going twice
Sold to the lady in the second row
She's an eight, she's a nine, she's a ten I know
