The Auctioneer - Leroy VanDyke[00:00:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Make it 55[00:02:31]

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