Hello, just wondering a few things about the song The Auctioneer. I checked the lyrics for it, and they didn't have the most important part: the auction speak! Does anyone know what that is? I know it's a fair amount to type, but it would be appreciated if you can either find an amended set of lyrics with that in there or type it. Also, when was the last time anyone can remember this song being done live. By the way, it's a song also originally recorded by Leroy Van Dike. One last thing: is this the most country that Gord ever gets? If there are other really country songs, then please point them out.
Thanks a lot.
Matthew

Scroll down the left side to Albums/Songs and select songs. The song list is arranged in alphabetical order, so Auctioneer will be close to the top. It's best to listen to the song while looking at the lyrics, to try and get a sense of the rhythm.
