She didn't want to get pinned down by her prior town
Get me to the train on timehere take this nickel make a dime
Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave
What is at the other endI don't know another friend
Another wifeanother morning spent
Listenlisten to the auctioneer
Another engineanother engine

We never wrote the reasons that I need explained
Some things are givensand others get away
This time it's for myself you call it what you may
Okaywe won't say goodbye so longso much more
Listen to the auctioneer
Another engineanother engine

Listen to the bargain holler
Listen to the barter holler
Listen to the auctioneer

Get me to the train on time here take this nickel make a dime
Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave
What is at the other endan I don't know another friend
Another wifeanother morning spent
Listen to the auctioneer
Another engineanother engine

Do I stand the bargain holler? 
Listen to the barter holler
