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, I don't know another friend
   Another wife, another morning spent
   Listen, listen to the auctioneer
   Another engine, another engine
  
   We never wrote the resaons that I need explained
   Some things are givens, and others get away
   This time its 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, an I don't know another friend
   Another wife, another morning spent
   Listen to the auctioneer
   Another engine, another engine
  
   Do I stand the bargain holler?
   Listen to the barter holler
   Listen to the auctioneer
