Intro 1
Hey, well all right sir, here we go there
and what're we gonna give for 'em?
I bid six hundred dollar down there
'n'now ten 'n'now twenty-five 'n'now thirty-five
'n'now (G major) there fifty now sixty
We're looking at sixty now
Seventy- five, seventy- five
another eighty-five dollars
Another buyer in there... (G major)
Verse 1
There (G major) was a boy in Arkansas
Who (C major) wouldn't listen to his ma
When (D major) she told him
that he should go to (G major) school (D major)
He'd (G major) sneak away in the afternoon
Take a (C major) little walk and pretty soon
You'd (D major) find him at the local auction (G major) barn
He'd (C major) stand and listen carefully
Then (G major) pretty soon he began to see
How the (A major) auctioneer could talk so rapid (D major) ly
He (G major) said oh my it's do or die
I've (C major) got to learn that auction cry
Gotta (D major) make my mark and be an auction (G major) eer
Chorus 1
Twenty- (G major) five dollar bid it now, thirty dollar thirty
Will you (C major) gimmie thirty, make it thirty
Bid 'em up on a thirty dollar,
(D major) will you gimmie thirty
Who'll bid a thirty dollar (G major) bid? (D major)
(G major) Thirty dollar bid it now, thirty-five
Will you gimmie (C major) thirty-five
To make it a thirty-five, to bid at a thirty-five,
(D major) Who woulda bid it at a thirty-five dollar (G major) bid?
(A flat major)
Verse 2
As (A flat major) time went on he did his best and
all (D flat major) could see he didn't jest
He prac (E flat major) ticed calling bids
both night and (A flat major) day (E flat major)
His (A flat major) pappy'd find him behind the barn
just a- (D flat major) workin up an awful storm
As he (E flat major) tried to imitate the auction (A flat major) eer
Then his pap (D flat major) said, "Son, we just can't stand
to (A flat major) have a mediocre man
Sellin' (B flat major) things at auction usin' our good (E flat major) name
I'll (A flat major) send you off to auction school
and (D flat major) then you'll be nobody's fool
(E flat major) You can take your place among the (A flat major) best"
Chorus 2
Thirty- (A flat major) five dollar bid it now, a forty dollar forty
Will you (D flat major) gimmie forty make it forty
Bid em' up on a forty dollar,
(E flat major) will you gimmie forty
Who'll bid a forty dollar (A flat major) bid? (E flat major)
(A flat major) Forty dollar bid it now, forty-five
Will you gimmie (D flat major) forty- five
To make it a forty-five, to bid at a forty-five,
(E flat major) Who woulda bid it at a forty- five dol- lar (A flat major) bid?
(A major)
Verse 3
So (A major) from that boy who went to school
there (D major) grew a man who played it cool
He came (E major) back home a full- fledged
auction (A major) eer (E major)
And the (A major) people came from miles around
just to (D major) hear him make that rhythmic sound
That (E major) filled their hearts
with such a happy cheer (A major)
His (D major) fame spread out from shore to shore
he (A major) had all he could do and more
(B major) Had to buy a plane to get around (E major)
Now (A major) he's the tops in all the land
so let's (D major) all give that man a hand
(E major) He's the best of all the auction (A major) eers
Chorus 3
Forty- (A major) five dollar bid it now, a fifty dollar fifty
Will you (D major) gimmie fifty make it fifty
Bid 'em up on a fifty dollar,
(E major) will you gimmie fifty
Who'll bid a fifty dollar (A major) bid? (E major)
Fif (A major) ty dollar bid it now, fifty-five
Will you gimmie (D major) fifty- five
To make it a fifty- five, a bid a fifty-five
And (E major) sold that horse for the fifty dollar (A major) bill!
Outro 1
(A major) Hey, well, all right sir, open the gate
and let 'em out and walk 'em, boys!
