《The Highest Bidder》歌词

[00:00:00] The Highest Bidder - Hank Snow/D.R

[00:00:07] You put your heart upon an auction block and sold it

[00:00:15] Selfish greed and envy were the auctioneers

[00:00:22] The highest bidder won your heart but he can't hold it

[00:00:29] Love that's bought with gold can only end in tears

[00:00:36] The price I offered was my true love and devotion

[00:00:44] But you laughed and said that love had had its day

[00:00:51] When at your feet I laid a heart filled with emotion

[00:00:59] You scorned the only price that I could pay

[00:01:35] May the golden price he paid you for your love dear

[00:01:43] Keep you with him may you never drift apart

[00:01:50] Cause at the auction of regret all tears are worthless

[00:01:58] Bids are low for second-handed broken hearts

[00:02:05] When all your wealth and riches cease to give you pleasure

[00:02:13] When you tire of playing princess you'll recall

[00:02:19] That love alone is life's true everlasting treasure

[00:02:27] And my bid it was the highest after all
