watermelon time in georgia

thank you

detroit

you treated me good

but i've been here longer than i should

i enjoyed the money but i miss my honey so

one thing's on my mind

it's watermelon time in georgia

it makes a country boy get down in the mouth

when his body's up north but his heart's down south

i said i'd be back

i'd better make tracks today

lawdy i gotta go because it's watermelon time in georgia

daddy's sitting in the sun

kids are fishing having fun

my old coon dog is a wantin' to run

but i can't reach

my little georgia peach too soon

one thing's on my mind

it's watermelon time in georgia

well so long detroit

so long friends

if you're ever down in macon

you better stop in

and meet the little girl that's always been my whole world

i'm leaving today because it's watermelon time in georgia

so long detroit

goodbye good 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

i'm leaving today because it's watermelon time in georgia
