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

Listen, listen to the auctioneer. Another engine, another engine.

We never wrote the reasons that I need explained
Some things are givens, and others get away
This time its for myself you call it what you may
Okay, we won't say goodbye so long, so much more

Listen to the auctioneer. Another engine, another 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 end, and I don't know another friend
Another wife, another morning spent

Listen, listen to the auctioneer. Another engine, another engine.
Another engine, another engine. Another...

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