Watermelon Time in Georgia

[Verse 1]
Thank you Detroit, you treated me good
But I've been here longer than I should
I enjoyed the money but I miss my honey so
One thing's on my mind, it's watermelon time in Georgia

[Verse 2]
Well Lord, it makes a country boy get down in the mouth
When his body's up north but his heart's down south
I said I'd be back, I'd better make tracks today
Well Lordy, I gotta go, it's watermelon time in Georgia

[Verse 3]
Daddy's sittin’ in the sun catching fish and having fun
And my old coon dog is a wantin' to run
And I can't reach my little Georgia peach too soon
One thing's on my mind, it's watermelon time in Gеorgia

[Verse 4]
Well, so long Detroit and so long friends
If you'rе ever down in Macon won't you please stop in
And meet the little girl that's always been my whole world
Lord, I'm leaving today, it's watermelon time in Georgia
Yeah I'm leaving today, it's watermelon time in Georgia
