Subject: RE: Lyric Req.
Let me know if you don't get this right away, cuz i have it too... IF you're talking about the one that came out in the 50s that begins "There was a boy in Arkansas who wouldn't listen to his ma when she told him that he should go to school. He'd sneak away in the afternoon, take a little walk and pretty soon, you'd find him at the local auction barn. He'd stand and listen carefully and pretty soon he began to see how the auctioneer could talk so rapidly He said "Oh my, it's do or die, I've got to learn that auction cry, gotta make my mark and be an auctioneer"

well, that's verse one... let me know if it's the right song and if you want 2 and 3... chuck
