Hey well alright sir here we go there and what are ya' gonna give for 'em. I have a 600 dollar down here now 10 and now 25 and now 35 and now there 50 now 60 will ya' give me 60 now 75, 75 another 85 dollars another buy 'em there. There was a boy in Arkansas who wouldn't listen to his ma when she told hi-im he should go to school. He'd sneak away in the afternoon, take a little walk then pretty soon, you'd find him at the local auction barn. He'd stand and listen carefully. Then pretty soon he began to see how the auctioneer could talk so rapidly. He said, "Oh my, it's do or die. I've got to learn that auction cry. Gotta make my mark and be an auctioneer." 25 dollar bid it now, 30 dollar 30 Will you gimmie 30 make it 30 Bid it on a 30 dollar will you gimmie 30. Who'll bid a 30 dollar bid? 30 dollar bid it now, 35, will you gimmie 35 to make it 35 to bid at 35. Who would a-bid it at a 35 dollar bid? As time went on, he did his best and all could see he didn't jest. He practiced calling bids both night and day. His pap would find him behind the barn just working up an awful storm as he tried to imitate the auctioneer. Then his pap said, "Son, we just can't stand to have a mediocre man sellin' things at auction using our good name. I'll send you off to auction school. Then you'll be nobody's fool. You can take your place among the best." 35 dollar bid it now a 40 dollar 40 Will you gimmie 40 make it 40 Bidin' it on a 40 dollar will you gimmie 40. Who'll bid a 40 dollar bid .... + Informações

Leroy Van Dyke the auctioneer and story, Singing. From the wonderful DVD set , Country's Family Reunion Nashville Collection 2008. + Informações

Having sold over three million copies of his song "Auctioneer," Leroy Van Dyke has gained a fair amount of recognition outside of the auction arena where he has also shone bright for over 30 years selling everything from buffaloes to bulldozers.. + Informações

(1961) I like this without the "echo" chorus. + Informações

This record came out in the early 60's after Leroy had had a smash hit with 'Walk On By.' I don't think this was a hit for him, but I still like the record to this day. How great the Nashville Sound was way back then.. + Informações

Leroy does the Hank Snow tune on Jubilee USA in 1960. I'm not sure there really are any mountains or caves in Waycross, Georgia. In the Okefenokee Swamp? Please correct me, of course.. + Informações

Single: The Auctioneer, Dot Records (1957) Words and Music by Leroy Van Dyke and Buddy Black Arranged by Kirby Shaw Recorded: 1956, Dot Records. Chicago Universal Studios Leroy Van Dyke, a real-life auctioneer, wrote and recorded The Auctioneer and in so doing scored a major hit on the country chart. The arrangement is deceptively simple, consisting only of Leroy on voice and acoustic guitar and a session player on electric guitar. Leroy recorded the song in 1957 for Dot Records. It was his debut single, which went to No. 9 and was his third biggest chart song. The flip side of the single, I Fell in Love with a Pony Tail, found Van Dyke balancing between country and teen-oriented music. His complete Dot recordings (1956-1958), included the aforementioned and fourteen teen-oriented songs. Born (b. 10/4/1929) in Mora, Missouri, Van Dyke originally wanted to be a farmer. He earned a degree in agriculture and journalism at the University of Missouri, where he first began playing guitar. His uncle had been an auctioneer and Leroy himself studied livestock auctioneering and worked as an auctioneer for a time. In 1951, he was deployed to Korea where he served as a in the Army Counter-Intelligence Corps. During his military stint, Leroy began performing for his peers and wrote The Auctioneer. In 1956, Leroy entered a talent contest on WGN Chicago radio, performing The Auctioneer. DJ Buddy Black signed up as Van Dyke's manager and slipped in a document giving himself co-writing .... + Informações

Charted at #19 on Billboard Hot 100 in November 1956 and #9 on the Country chart. Interestingly enough, Leroy's next Billboard chart record didn't come until 1961's smash hit "Walk On By" but he had a long string of country hits following this. "Auctioneer" also charted at #59 for Chuck Miller in December 1956. Written by Leroy Van Dyke and Buddy Black. B-side is "I Fell in Love with a Pony Tail".. + Informações

This is a clip from the 1967 movie -- "What Am I Bid" -- that features Van Dyke's hit single, "Auctioneer." At the podium is Ray Sims, the world-famous auctioneer who will be inducted into the Saddle and Sirloin Club in November 2010. Keith Evans, who served as director of public relations for the American Angus Association, also makes a cameo appearance.. + Informações
