The Watermelon Song - Tennessee Ernie Ford[00:00:00]
Written by:Bill Yustrom[00:00:01]
Down in Tennessee[00:00:07]
I used to sit upon the fence[00:00:08]
A wondering about the lack of[00:00:10]
People's common sense[00:00:13]
What I didn't understand then[00:00:14]
Couldn't keep concealed[00:00:16]
Was one great big fat watermelon[00:00:18]
Laying in the field[00:00:20]
See that watermelon hanging on the vine[00:00:22]
I wish that watermelon could be mine[00:00:26]
The farmer must be careless[00:00:29]
Without a lick of sense[00:00:31]
Or he wouldn't leave it hanging[00:00:33]
On the vine[00:00:35]
Cornbread is sweet[00:00:37]
Pork chops are good[00:00:39]
Blackeyed peas are mighty mighty fine[00:00:41]
But give me oh give me[00:00:44]
I really wish you would[00:00:46]
That watermelon hanging on the vine[00:00:48]
Got a gal who loves me[00:00:56]
She always treats me fine[00:00:58]
She lets me hug and kiss her all the time[00:01:00]
I wish that all her kisses[00:01:03]
Could taste half as sweet[00:01:05]
As the watermelon hanging on the vine[00:01:07]
Oh kissing is sweet[00:01:11]
Hugging is good[00:01:13]
Cherry lips taste mighty mighty fine[00:01:15]
But give me oh give me[00:01:19]
I really wish you would[00:01:21]
That watermelon hanging on the vine[00:01:22]
Well I see that watermelon[00:01:26]
So thick so fat so fine[00:01:28]
What a shame to go home leaving it behind[00:01:30]
I know my baby's waiting[00:01:34]
She won't be waiting long[00:01:36]
Now that I got that watermelon off the vine[00:01:38]
Oh cornbread is sweet[00:01:42]
Pork chops are good[00:01:44]
Blackeyed peas are mighty mighty fine[00:01:46]
But I ought to tell you[00:01:49]
I really think I should[00:01:51]
For licking good eating[00:01:53]
Eat a watermelon hanging on the vine[00:01:55]
