GOING ONCE

Intro Estate of Amos Cain. Everything must go.

Verse 1 Lot number one: a rope, barely used Thirteen turns and one man loose Do I hear ten, gimme ten, gimme five — Only rope in the county that left a man alive Lot number two: his iron, notched six Cylinder's holdin' one that never hit Do I hear twenty, twenty, twenty-five — And the man in black just raised his hand up high

Chorus Going once, going twice Every sin has got a price The rope, the gun, the wedding band Sold — to the devil's raised right hand

Verse 2 Lot number three: a band of gold Pawned it twice, bought it back, so I'm told Lot number four: a hat with a hole Clean through the crown — Lord rest his soul Every lot he takes without a sound Black coat, gold tooth, hat pulled down Do I hear fifty, fifty, fifty-one — Sold to the stranger — mister, you've bought every one

Chorus Going once, going twice Every sin has got a price The rope, the gun, the wedding band Sold — to the devil's raised right hand

Bridge Last lot on the block, boys... One pine box. Never used. Do I hear... anything? Going once, going twice Every sin has got a price The rope, the gun, the wedding band Sold — to the devil's raised right hand

Outro I'll be takin' it all back now.
