《The Watermelon Song》歌词

[00:00:00] The Watermelon Song - Tennessee Ernie Ford

[00:00:01] Written by：Bill Yustrom

[00:00:07] Down in Tennessee

[00:00:08] I used to sit upon the fence

[00:00:10] A wondering about the lack of

[00:00:13] People's common sense

[00:00:14] What I didn't understand then

[00:00:16] Couldn't keep concealed

[00:00:18] Was one great big fat watermelon

[00:00:20] Laying in the field

[00:00:22] See that watermelon hanging on the vine

[00:00:26] I wish that watermelon could be mine

[00:00:29] The farmer must be careless

[00:00:31] Without a lick of sense

[00:00:33] Or he wouldn't leave it hanging

[00:00:35] On the vine

[00:00:37] Cornbread is sweet

[00:00:39] Pork chops are good

[00:00:41] Blackeyed peas are mighty mighty fine

[00:00:44] But give me oh give me

[00:00:46] I really wish you would

[00:00:48] That watermelon hanging on the vine

[00:00:56] Got a gal who loves me

[00:00:58] She always treats me fine

[00:01:00] She lets me hug and kiss her all the time

[00:01:03] I wish that all her kisses

[00:01:05] Could taste half as sweet

[00:01:07] As the watermelon hanging on the vine

[00:01:11] Oh kissing is sweet

[00:01:13] Hugging is good

[00:01:15] Cherry lips taste mighty mighty fine

[00:01:19] But give me oh give me

[00:01:21] I really wish you would

[00:01:22] That watermelon hanging on the vine

[00:01:26] Well I see that watermelon

[00:01:28] So thick so fat so fine

[00:01:30] What a shame to go home leaving it behind

[00:01:34] I know my baby's waiting

[00:01:36] She won't be waiting long

[00:01:38] Now that I got that watermelon off the vine

[00:01:42] Oh cornbread is sweet

[00:01:44] Pork chops are good

[00:01:46] Blackeyed peas are mighty mighty fine

[00:01:49] But I ought to tell you

[00:01:51] I really think I should

[00:01:53] For licking good eating

[00:01:55] Eat a watermelon hanging on the vine
