southern man better keep your head

don't forget what your good lord said

summer chains going to come at last

now your crosses are burning fast

southern man



see that watermelon

smiling through the fence

i wish that watermelon it was mine

sometimes i think that old folks

ain't got a little sense

when they leave that watermelon on the vine

well apples are sweet and peaches are good

rabbits so very very fine

but give me oh give me

oh how i wish you would

some of that watermelon smiling on the vine
