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 and I don't know
Another friend, another wife, another morning spentListen to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engineWe 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, so much moreListen to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engineListen to the bargain holler
Listen to the barter holler
Listen to the auctioneerOh, 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 and I don't know
Another friend, another wife, another morning spentSo listen to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engine
Another engine, another engine
AnotherDo I stand the bargain holler?
Listen to the barter holler
