Two For A Dollar Lyrics - Bobby Bare

Last Saturday morning I shut off the alarm 

Drove out in the valley to old Dan Cook's farm 

A sign on the fence post put up with one nail read 10 a.m. sharp for big public sale 

At least forty people were out in the yard 

Looking for bargains they were dealing real hard 

To buy up the pieces and find out the worth of fifty years living so close to the earth 

Who'll give me five I got five now who'll give me ten 

I'll call out the numbers and you just say when 

For a lifetime of mem'ries some happy some sad 

Two for a dollar the price sure ain't bad 

No bids for the carriage rottin' out by the shed 

The one that they drove on the night they were wed 

Five bucks for the brass bed a little bit worn 

Not much for the place where the five kids were born 

And the old parlor piano still sounded alright 

Just as good as it did many Saturday nights 

And the big round oak table where dinner was made 

Brought almost as much as the tiffany shade 

Who'll give me five... 

Two for a dollar the price sure ain't bad
