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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Daddy's sitting in the sun, kids are fishing, having fun
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 Georgia

[Instrumental Break]

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

[Outro]
One thing's on my mind, it's watermelon time in Georgia
