G C G
See that watermelon smiling through the fence
G D
I really wanna eat that watermelon fine
G C G
Some folks sure am foolish, They haven't got a lot of sense
D G
Or they wouldn't leave that melon on that vine
{Chorus}
C G
Hambone is sweet, chicken is good
G D
Rabbit is so very, very fine
G C G
But give me, oh give me, now how I wish you would
D G
That watermelon hanging on that vine
{Verse 2}
G C G
You may talk about your apples, your peaches and your pears
G D
'Simmons a-growing on the tree
G C G
But bless your heart my honey, you are the gal for me
D G
Or they wouldn't leave it hanging on that vine
{Chorus}
C G
Hambone is sweet, chicken is good
G D
Rabbit is so very, very fine
G C G
But give me, oh give me, now how I wish you would
D G
That watermelon hanging on that vine
{Verse 3}
G C G
I went to get that melon, it was on one Sunday night
G D
The stars they had just begun to shine
G C G
When I left that old man's field, I left there in a run
D G
But I didn't leave that melon on that vine
{Chorus}
C G
Hambone is sweet, chicken is good
G D
Rabbit is so very, very fine
G C G
But give me, oh give me, now how I wish you would
D G
That watermelon hanging on that vine
