Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident) - John Michael Montgomery

Hey pretty lady!

Won’t you gimme a sign?

I’d give anything to make you mine, all mine

I’ll do your biddin' and be at your beck and call

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 gimme a sign?

I’d give anything to make you mine, all 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, blond hair, blue eyes

And I’m about to bid my heart good-bye!

Well, the auctioneer was goin' 'bout a mile a minute

He was taking 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 gimme a sign?

I’d give anything to make you mine, all mine

I’ll do your biddin' and be at your beck and call» (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

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 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 gimme a sign?

I’d give anything to make you mine, all mine

I’ll do your biddin' and be at your beck and call» (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, blond hair, blue eyes

And I’m about to bid my heart good-bye!

I’m sold
