Hey well all right sir, open the gate
Letem out and walkem boys
Here we come with lot number twenty-nine
What are you gonna give for the little fella
Well there was a boy from arkansas who wouldnt listen to his ma
When she told him that he should go to school
Hed sneak away in the afternoon and take a walk and pretty soon
Youd find him at the local auction barn
Hed stand and listen carefully until at last he began to see
How the auctioneer could talk so rapidly
He said oh my, its do or die, Ive got to learn that auction cry
Gonna make my mark and be an auctioneer
Well the time went by and he did his best and all could see he did not jest
He practiced calling bids both night and day
Til his pappy found him behind the barn just working up an awful storm
As he tried to imitate the auctioneer
His pop said son we just cant stand to have a mediocre man
Selling things at auction using our good name
Gonna send you off to auction school and then youll be nobodys fool
And you can take your place among the best
And from that boy that went to school there grew a man who played it cool
He come back home a full fledged auctioneer
And the people would come from miles around
Just to hear him make that rhythmic sound
That filled their hearts with such a happy cheer
And his fame spread out from shore to shore
Hed all that he could do and more
He had to buy a plane to get around
Now hes the best in all the land, lets pause and give that man a hand
For hes the best of all the auctioneers
Gordon Meredith Lightfoot, Jr. (1938-2023) was a Canadian singer-songwriter considered one of the pillars of his country's folk and country music. Born in Orillia, Ontario, Lightfoot began his musical career in the 1960s, quickly gaining a reputation for his evocative melodies and poetic lyrics that often explored themes of history, nature, and everyday life in Canada. Among his most famous songs are "If You Could Read My Mind", "Sundown" and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". The latter song, inspired by the sinking of a ship on Lake Superior, became a folk classic and cemented Lightfoot as one of the most important singer-songwriters of the 20th century. Lightfoot collaborated with numerous artists, including Bob Dylan and Neil Young, and won numerous awards for his music, including the Juno Award for Canadian artist of the year. His influence on Canadian folk music has been profound and lasting.
