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]

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]

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]

[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
