歌曲名 The Watermelon Song

歌手名 Tennessee Ernie Ford

作曲：Bill Eustrom

Down in tennessee

I used to sit upon the fence

A wondering about the lack of

People's common sense

What I didn't then understand keep concealed

Was one great big fat watermelon

Laying in the field

See that watermelon hanging on the vine

I wish that watermelon could be mine

The farmer must be careless

Without a lick of sense

Or he wouldn't leave it hanging

On the vine

Cornbread is sweet

Pork chops are good

Blackeyed peas are mighty mighty fine

But give me oh give me

I really wish you would

That watermelon hanging on the vine

Got a gal who loves me

She always treats me fine

She lets hug and kiss her all the time

I wish that all her kisses

Could taste half as sweet

As the watermelon hanging on the vine

Oh kissing is sweet

Hugging is good

Cherry lips taste mighty mighty fine

But give me oh give me

I really wish you would

That watermelon hanging on the vine

Well I see that watermelon

So thick so fat so fine

What a shame to go home leaving it behind

I know my baby's waiting

She won't be waiting long

Now that I got that watermelon off the vine

Oh cornbread is sweet

Pork chops are good

Blackeyed peas are mighty mighty fine

But I ought to tell you

I really think I should

For licking good eating

Eat a watermelon hanging on the vine
