Bid 'Em In - Oscar Brown, Jr.

Written by：O. Brown/J

Bid 'em in get 'em in

That sun is hot and plenty bright

Let's get down to business and get home tonight

Bid 'em in

Auctioning slaves is a real high art

Bring that young gal Roy she's good for a start

Bid 'em in get 'em in

Now here's a real good buy only about 15

Her great grand mammy was a dahomey queen

Just look at her face she sure ain't homely

Like Sheba in the bible she's black but comely

Bid 'em in

Goanna start her at three can I hear three

Step up gents take a good look see

Cause I know you'll want her once you've seen her

She's young and ripe make a darn good breeder

Bid 'em in

She's good in the fields she can sew and cook

Strip her down Roy let the gentlemen look

She's full up front and ample behind

Examine her teeth if you've got a mind

Bid 'em in get 'em in

Here's a bid of three from a man who's thrifty

Three twenty five can I hear three fifty

Your money ain't earning you much in the banks

Turn her around Roy let 'em look at her flanks

Bid 'em in

Three fifty's bid I'm looking for four

At four hundred dollars she's a bargain sure

Four is the bid four fifty five

Five hundred dollars now look alive

Bid 'em in get 'em in

Don't mind them tears that's one of her tricks

Five fifty's bid and who'll say six

She's healthy and strong and well equipped

Make a fine lady's maid when she's properly whipped

Bid 'em in

Six six fifty don't be slow

Seven is the bid goanna let her go

At seven she's going

Going

Gone

Pull her down Roy bring the next one on

Bid 'em in get 'em in bid 'em in
