about

I recorded this in March of 2021 when I could still technically "sing" for a few minutes at a time. The vocals are a mixture of different takes recorded over a two-week period. I never did anything with this in 2021 because I assumed I would have my voice back, BUT this week I mixed and mastered it for BANDCAMP FRIDAY 8/4.

Eventually the GOAL is to have 12 of these country songs you can't dance to and press a vinyl record.

Have fun!

lyrics

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 give me a sign?
I'd give anything to make you mine o' mine
I'll do your biddin' 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, blonde hair, blue eyes
And I'm about to bid my heart goodbye

Well, the auctioneer was goin' about a mile a minute
He was takin' bids and callin' 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 give me a sign?
I'd give anything to make you mine o' mine
I'll do your biddin' 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
Plus she won my heart, it was no contest
With her ruby red lips, blonde hair, blue eyes
Well, I'm about to bid my heart goodbye

Yeah, we found love on the auction block
And I hauled her heart away
And we still love and laugh about the way we met that day
When I said

"Hey pretty lady, won't you give me a sign?
I'd give anything to make you mine o' mine
I'll do your biddin' 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, blonde hair, blue eyes
And I'm about to bid my heart goodbye
