Watermelon Time In Georgia

Thank you, Detroit, you treated me good

But I've been here longer than I should

I en-joyed the money, but I miss my honey so

One thing on my mind, it's watermelon time in

Georgia

Well it makes a country boy get down in the mouth

When his body's up north but his hearts down south

I said I'd be back; I'd better make tracks today

Lawdy I gotta go, it's watermelon time in

Georgia

Daddy's sitting in the sun, keeps the fish from

having fun

My old coon dog is a wantin' to run

And I can't reach, my little Georgia peach too

soon

One things on my mind, it's watermelon time in

Georgia

So long Detroit, so long 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

Well, I'm leaving today, it's watermelon time

in Georgia

Yes, I'm leaving today cause it's

watermelon time in Georgia
