Thread Name: Lyr Req: 'Auctioneer, don't sell our house...'
Subject: for a cousin!
My Cousin just remembers a part of a song it has something to do with an Auctioneer selling a house of this lady and her daughter. The son had run off when he was young and now he came back and is at the auction and is the one who ends up buying the house. Here is a few of the words my cousin can remember: "Auctioneer don't sell our house my mother is feeble, old & gray and we have no place to stay." This is an old song her mother sang it to her!

Here is another one: She says it is called Letter Edged/Etched in black, but it is not the one on the list. She says it has something to do with this lady coming home and finding this letter and finds out her husband has run off with another woman. This is an old one too.

Good luck! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
