She was too young for the auction block
Now she's married off washin dirty socks
Never figured on a stranger gonna come along
With a higher bid, but the goods are gone
She give herself away
She give herself away, yea yea
She give herself away, when the bids were low
Well, time brings change, wherever he goes
An' a two bit town, it just grows and grows
Till the picken' ain't slim, like it used to be
But she'll be washin' dirty socks for eternity
She give herself away
She give herself away, yea yea
She give herself away, when the bids were low
A banker come from Huston, and an oil man from Tennessee
Her own bo was workin' doubles, left her lonely as a woman can be
Sometime in the empty, somewhere in the night
That unhappy woman, she did what she knew ain't right
She give herself away
She give herself away, yea yea
She give herself away, when the bids were low
