sold the grundy count 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 hey, pretty lady, won t you gimme a sign?
I d give anything to make you mine, all mine,
I d do your bidding 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 goodbye.

Well the auctioneer was goin about a mile a minute.
He was taking bids and calling 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 d do your bidding 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.
Well she won my heart, it was no contest,
with her ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes,
and I m about to bid my heart goodbye.

Well, we found love on the auction block that day 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 d do your bidding and be at your beck and call.
