WATERMELON ON THE VINE

G...........................C..........................G.....
See that watermelon smilin' through the fence
....................................................D.....
Really wanna make that watermelon mine
G............................................C........................G.......
Some folks are just foolish, they just don't have no sense
...................................D...................G.....
Or they wouldn't leave it hangin' on that vine

C..........................G...................
Hambone is sweet, chicken is good
...............................D................
Rabbit is so very, very fine (to me)
.....G.................................C...................G......
Oh give me, oh give me, oh how I wish you would
........................D....................G....
That watermelon hangin' on that vine


Talk about your apples, your peaches and your pears
'Simmons a-growin' by the creek
Some folks have their favorites just most everywhere
But watermelon is the one for me

Hambone is sweet, chicken is good
Rabbit is so very, very fine (to me)
Oh give me, oh give me, oh how I wish you would
That watermelon hangin' on that vine


I went to get that melon, thought I'd have some fun
The stars they had just begun to shine
But when I heard that old man scream, well I left there on the run
But I didn't leave it hangin' on that vine

Hambone is sweet, chicken is good
Rabbit is so very, very fine (to me)
Oh give me, oh give me, oh how I wish you would
That watermelon hangin' on that vine
Well give me, oh give me, oh how I wish you would
That watermelon hangin' on that vine

Thanks. This one has been on my mind all day after seeing your video from Winston-Salem.
