The Watermelon Song - Tennessee Ernie Ford[00:00:00]
Down in tennessee[00:00:08]
I used to sit upon the fence[00:00:09]
A wondering about the lack of[00:00:11]
People's common sense[00:00:13]
What I didn't then understand keep concealed[00:00:15]
Was one great big fat watermelon[00:00:19]
Laying in the field[00:00:21]
See that watermelon hanging on the vine[00:00:23]
I wish that watermelon could be mine[00:00:26]
The farmer must be careless[00:00:30]
Without a lick of sense[00:00:32]
Or he wouldn't leave it hanging[00:00:34]
On the vine[00:00:35]
Cornbread is sweet[00:00:38]
Pork chops are good[00:00:40]
Blackeyed peas are mighty mighty fine[00:00:41]
But give me oh give me[00:00:45]
I really wish you would[00:00:47]
That watermelon hanging on the vine[00:00:49]
Got a gal who loves me[00:00:57]
She always treats me fine[00:00:59]
She lets hug and kiss her all the time[00:01:01]
I wish that all her kisses[00:01:04]
Could taste half as sweet[00:01:06]
As the watermelon hanging on the vine[00:01:08]
Oh kissing is sweet[00:01:12]
Hugging is good[00:01:14]
Cherry lips taste mighty mighty fine[00:01:16]
But give me oh give me[00:01:20]
I really wish you would[00:01:22]
That watermelon hanging on the vine[00:01:24]
Well I see that watermelon[00:01:28]
So thick so fat so fine[00:01:30]
What a shame to go home leaving it behind[00:01:31]
I know my baby's waiting[00:01:35]
She won't be waiting long[00:01:37]
Now that I got that watermelon off the vine[00:01:39]
Oh cornbread is sweet[00:01:43]
Pork chops are good[00:01:45]
Blackeyed peas are mighty mighty fine[00:01:47]
But I ought to tell you[00:01:51]
I really think I should[00:01:53]
For licking good eating[00:01:55]
Eat a watermelon hanging on the vine[00:01:56]
