Words & Music by Hank Snow, Mary Jean Shurtz, and Boudleaux Bryant

Recorded by Hank Snow



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.



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 regrettal, 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 playin' princess, you'll recall

That love alone is life's true everlasting treasure,

And my bid, it was the highest after all.

  • Rhumba Boogie
    "Well come all you children give a listen to me let me tell you bout a new boogie beat

    While Madame Lozonga was teachin' La Conga in her little cabana in old Havana..."
  • Im Movin On
    "That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
    Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back

    You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky..."

    I can't sleep a wink..."
  • Music Makin Mama from Memphis
    "Listen to a story about a gal I know
    She's my music makin' mama, I'm her hillbilly beau
    She's sweeter than the music when she tickles the strings
    Sweeter than the flowers down in New Orleans..."
  • The Gold Rush Is Over
    "Oh! the gold rush is over so honey bye bye
    Stake out your claim now on some other guy
    I've wined you and dined you 'til my money is gone
    But the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on..."

    "It don't hurt anymore
    All my teardrops are dried
    No more walkin' the floor
    With that burnin' inside..."
  • Would You Mind

    Would you mind if my heart is beating so for you?..."
