Watermelon Time In Georgia |
Thank you, Detroit, you treated me good |
But I’ve been here longer than I should |
I enjoyed the money but I miss my honey so |
One thing’s on my mind, it’s watermelon time in Georgia |
It makes a country boy get down in the mouth |
When his body’s up north but his heart’s down south |
I said I’d be back, I’d better make tracks today |
Lawdy I gotta go because it’s watermelon time in Georgia |
Daddy’s sitting in the sun, kids are fishing having fun |
My old coon dog is a wantin' to run |
But I can’t reach, my little Georgia peach too soon |
One thing’s on my mind, it’s watermelon time in Georgia |
Well so long Detroit, so long friends |
If you’re ever down in Macon, you better stop in |
And meet the little girl that’s always been my whole world |
I’m leaving today because it’s watermelon time in Georgia |
So long Detroit, goodbye good friends |
If you’re ever down in Macon, won’t you please stop in |
And meet the little girl that’s always been my whole world |
I’m leaving today because it’s watermelon time in Georgia |
