Well, I went down to the Grundy County Auction

Where I saw somethin' 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!"



Chorus:

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 bidden 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!



Repeat Chorus



Bridge:

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



Repeat Chorus
