Auctioneer (Another Engine)

[Verse 1]

She didn't want to get pinned down by her prior town

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 end? I don't know, another friend

Another wife, another morning spent

[Chorus]

Listen, listen to the auctioneer

Another engine, another engine

[Verse 2]

We never wrote the reasons that I need explained

Some things are givens and others get away

This time, it's for myself, you call it what you may

Okay, we won't say goodbye, so long, and so much more

[Chorus]

And listen to the auctioneer

Another engine, another engine

[Bridge]

Listen to the bargain holler

Listen to the barter holler

Listen to the auctioneer

[Verse 3]

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 end?

I don't know, another friend

Another wife, another morning spent

[Chorus]

Listen, listen to the auctioneer

Another engine, another engine

Another engine, another engine

[Outro]

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