Lefty Frizzel - Watermelon Time In Georgia Lyrics

WATERMELON TIME IN GEORGIA



(A) Thank you, Detroit, you treated me good

But IÂÂÂÂÂ've been here longer (A7) than I should

I en-(D)-joyed the money, but I miss my honey (A) so

One (E) thing on my mind, itÂÂÂÂÂ's (E7) watermelon time in (A) Georgia



(A) Well it makes a country boy get down in the mouth

When his bodyÂÂÂÂÂ's up north but his (A7) hearts down south

I (D) said IÂÂÂÂÂ'd be back; IÂÂÂÂÂ'd better make tracks to-(A)-day

Lawdy (E) I gotta go, itÂÂÂÂÂ's (E7) watermelon time in (A) Georgia







(A) DaddyÂÂÂÂÂ's sitting in the sun, keeps the fish from having fun

My old coon dog is a (A7) wantinÂÂÂÂÂ' to run

And (D) I canÂÂÂÂÂ't reach, my little Georgia peach too (A) soon

One (E) things on my mind, itÂÂÂÂÂ's (E7) watermelon time in (A) Georgia



(A) So long Detroit, so long friends

If youÂÂÂÂÂ're ever down in Macon, wonÂÂÂÂÂ't you (A7) please stop in?

And (D) meet the little girl, thatÂÂÂÂÂ's always been my whole (A) world

Well, IÂÂÂÂÂ'm (E) leaving today, itÂÂÂÂÂ's (E7) watermelon time in (A) Georgia



tag

(A) Yes, IÂÂÂÂÂ'm (E) leaving today cause itÂÂÂÂÂ's (E7) watermelon time in (A) Georgia
