《The Auctioneer》歌词

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

[00:00:10] Now there was a boy in Arkansas

[00:00:13] And he wouldn't listen to his ma

[00:00:15] When she told him that he ought to go to school

[00:00:19] He'd sneak away in the afternoon

[00:00:21] And he'd take a little walk

[00:00:22] And pretty soon you'd find him

[00:00:24] At the local auction barn

[00:00:27] He'd stand and listen carefully

[00:00:29] Then pretty soon he began to see

[00:00:31] How the auctioneer could talk so rapidly

[00:00:35] He said "Oh my it's do or die

[00:00:37] I've got to learn that auction cry

[00:00:39] Gotta make my mark and be an auctioneer"

[00:00:42] 25 dollar 30 now 30 dollar 30 dollar

[00:00:45] 30 dollar 30 dollar give me a hollar 30 dollar

[00:00:48] Who will bid it at a 35 dollar bid

[00:00:51] 35 dollar 35 35 make it 35 and a 35

[00:00:54] Make it 35 and a 35

[00:00:55] Who will bid it at a 35 dollar bid

[00:00:59] Now time went on and he didn't rest

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

[00:01:03] He practiced calling bids every night and day

[00:01:07] His daddy'd find him out behind the barn

[00:01:09] He'd be workin' up an awful storm

[00:01:11] He tried to imitate the auctioneer

[00:01:14] And dad said "Son we can't stand

[00:01:17] To have a mediocre man

[00:01:19] Selling things at auction using our good name

[00:01:23] Now I'll send you off to the auction school

[00:01:25] And then you'll be nobody's fool

[00:01:27] And you can take your place among the best"

[00:01:31] 35 dollar 40 now 40 dollar 40 dollar

[00:01:33] 40 dollar 40 dollar give me a hollar 40 dollar

[00:01:35] Who will bid it at at a 40 dollar bid

[00:01:39] 40 dollar 45 45 will you make it 45

[00:01:42] Give me 45 and a 45

[00:01:43] Who will bid it at a 45 dollar bid

[00:01:47] From that boy that went to school

[00:01:49] There grew a man who played it cool

[00:01:51] And he came home a full-fledged auctioneer

[00:01:55] See the people come from miles around

[00:01:57] What to hear him make that rhythmic sound

[00:01:59] That filled their hearts with such a happy cheer

[00:02:03] Then his fame reached out from shore to shore

[00:02:05] And he had all that he could do and more

[00:02:08] He had to buy a plane to get around

[00:02:11] Well he was the best in all the land

[00:02:13] And everybody gave that sucker a hand

[00:02:16] And he was the best hilly billy auctioneer

[00:02:19] 45 dollar 50 now 50 dollar 50 dollar

[00:02:22] 50 dollar 50 dollar give me a hollar 50 dollar

[00:02:24] Who will bid it at a 50 dollar bill

[00:02:28] 50 dollar 55 55 make it 55 and a 55

[00:02:30] Make it 55

[00:02:31] And I sold that hog for a 50 dollar bid
