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 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 it's 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 to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engine
Another engine, another engine, and I

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