K:G
[G]See that watermelon, [C]smiling through the [G]fence,
I really wish that watermelon was [D]mine.
But the [G]city folks are foolish and the [C]workers have a lot of [G]sense,
Or they wouldn't leave it [D]hanging on the [G]vine.
Chorus:
[C]Hambone is sweet, [G]chicken is good,
Rabbit is so very, very [D]fine.
But [G]give me, oh give me, oh [C]how I wish you [G]would,
That watermelon [D]hanging on that [G]vine.
You can [G]talk about your apples, your [C]peaches and your [G]pears,
'Simmons a-growing on the [D]tree.
But [G]bless your heart my honey for you [C]are the gal for [G]me,
Or they [G]wouldn't leave it [D]hanging on the [G]vine.
Chorus
I [G]went to get that melon, it was [C]on one Sunday [G]night,
Stars they had just begun to [D]shine.
But [G]when I left that old man's field I [C]left there on a [G]run,
But I never left it [D]hanging on that [G]vine.
Chorus
