《The Auctioneer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Auctioneer - Leroy Van Dyke

[00:00:11] Now there was a boy in Arkansas

[00:00:14] And he wouldn't listen to his ma

[00:00:16] When she told him that he ought to go to school

[00:00:20] He'd sneak away in the afternoon

[00:00:22] And he'd take a little walk

[00:00:23] And pretty soon you'd find him

[00:00:25] At the local auction barn

[00:00:28] He'd stand and listen carefully

[00:00:30] Then pretty soon he began to see

[00:00:32] How the auctioneer could talk so rapidly

[00:00:36] He said "Oh my it's do or die

[00:00:38] I've got to learn that auction cry

[00:00:40] Gotta make my mark and be an auctioneer"

[00:00:43] 25 dollar 30 now 30 dollar 30 dollar

[00:00:46] 30 dollar 30 dollar give me a hollar 30 dollar

[00:00:49] Who will bid it at a 35 dollar bid

[00:00:52] 35 dollar 35 35 make it 35 and a 35

[00:00:55] Make it 35 and a 35

[00:00:56] Who will bid it at a 35 dollar bid

[00:01:00] Now time went on and he didn't rest

[00:01:02] And everybody saw that he didn't jest

[00:01:04] He practiced calling bids every night and day

[00:01:08] His daddy'd find him out behind the barn

[00:01:10] He'd be workin' up an awful storm

[00:01:12] He tried to imitate the auctioneer

[00:01:15] And dad said "Son we can't stand

[00:01:18] To have a mediocre man

[00:01:20] Selling things at auction using our good name

[00:01:24] Now I'll send you off to the auction school

[00:01:26] And then you'll be nobody's fool

[00:01:28] And you can take your place among the best"

[00:01:32] 35 dollar 40 now 40 dollar 40 dollar

[00:01:34] 40 dollar 40 dollar give me a hollar 40 dollar

[00:01:36] Who will bid it at at a 40 dollar bid

[00:01:40] 40 dollar 45 45 will you make it 45

[00:01:43] Give me 45 and a 45

[00:01:44] Who will bid it at a 45 dollar bid

[00:01:48] From that boy that went to school

[00:01:50] There grew a man who played it cool

[00:01:52] And he came home a full-fledged auctioneer

[00:01:56] See the people come from miles around

[00:01:58] What to hear him make that rhythmic sound

[00:02:00] That filled their hearts with such a happy cheer

[00:02:04] Then his fame reached out from shore to shore

[00:02:06] And he had all that he could do and more

[00:02:09] He had to buy a plane to get around

[00:02:12] Well he was the best in all the land

[00:02:14] And everybody gave that sucker a hand

[00:02:17] And he was the best hilly billy auctioneer

[00:02:20] 45 dollar 50 now 50 dollar 50 dollar

[00:02:23] 50 dollar 50 dollar give me a hollar 50 dollar

[00:02:25] Who will bid it at a 50 dollar bill

[00:02:29] 50 dollar 55 55 make it 55 and a 55

[00:02:31] Make it 55

[00:02:32] And I sold that hog for a 50 dollar bid
