Hank Snow - Highest Bidder Lyrics



Hank Snow - Highest Bidder Lyrics




You put your heart upon an auction block and sold it

Selfish greed and envy were the auctioneers

The highest bidder won your heart but he can't hold it

Love that's bought with gold can only end in tears

The price I offered was my true love and devotion

But you laughed and said that love had had its day

When at your feet I laid a heart filled with emotion

You scorned the only price that I could pay

[ guitar - fiddle ]

May the golden price he paid you for your love dear

Keep you with him may you never drift apart

Cause at the auction of regret all tears are worthless

Bids are low for second-handed broken hearts

When all your wealth and riches cease to give you pleasure

When you tire of playing princess you'll recall

That love alone is life's true everlasting treasure

And my bid it was the highest after all
