Bid 'Em High |
| 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 grandmammy 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! |
| Gonna 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. |
| Gonna 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! |
