Lyrics:
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 reasons 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
(During the intro and breakdown, Peter sticks to this. During the verse, however, he adlibs a bit and instead of hitting the second "7" of the riff, he will substitute by hitting the high E string or some other random note.)
