The Watermalon Song |
| Down in Tennessee I used to sit upon the fence |
| A-wonderin' about the lack of people’s common sense |
| What I didn’t understand then couldn’t keep concealed |
| Was one great big fat watermelon layin' in the field |
| See that watermelon hangin' on the vine |
| I wish that watermelon could be mine |
| The farmer must be careless |
| Without a lick of sense |
| Or he wouldn’t leave it hangin' |
| On the vine |
| Cornbread is sweet |
| Pork chops are good |
| Blackeyed peas are mighty, mighty fine |
| But give me, oh give me |
| I really wish you would |
| That watermelon hangin' on the vine |
| Got a gal who loves me |
| She always treats me fine |
| She lets hug and kiss her all the time |
| I wish that all her kisses |
| Could taste half as sweet |
| As the watermelon hangin' on the vine |
| Oh kissin' is sweet |
| Huggin' is good |
| Cherry lips taste mighty, mighty fine |
| But give me, oh give me |
| I really wish you would |
| That watermelon hangin' on the vine |
| Well I see that watermelon |
| So thick, so fat, so fine |
| What a shame to go leavin' it behind |
| I know my baby’s waitin' |
| She won’t be waitin' long |
| Now that I got that watermelon off the vine |
| Oh cornbread is sweet |
| Pork chops are good |
| Blackeyed peas are mighty, mighty fine |
| But I ought to tell you |
| I really think I should |
| For lickin' good eatin' |
| Eat a watermelon hangin' on the vine |
