Thread Name: Lyr Req: Bidding America Goodbye (Tanya Tucker)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Auction sung by Dolly Parton
The song posted by Mr. Silver above is actually called BIDDING AMERICA GOODBYE, sometimes given as BIDDING AMERICA GOODBYE (THE AUCTION). It was written by Jamie O'Hara and recorded by Tanya Tucker (not Dolly Parton). Tucker's recording appears on her 1991 album "What Do I Do with Me?" and a couple of compilations. Stacy Dean Campbell also sang it on his 1999 album "Ashes of Old Love."

You can find a couple of sound samples at Yahoo! Music.

According to a couple of other web sites, verse 4 line 2 should be:
"That we know your family's worked that land for years".
