[Verse 1]
      G7
I was driving through Georgia in late July

                                D     G7
on a day hot enough to make the Devil sigh

                      C
I saw a homemade sign written in red

  G7                   D        G7
Rind County Watermelon Festival ahead
[Verse 2]
       G7
Well I wasn't in a hurry so I slowed down

                          D         G7
took a two lane road to a one horse town

                               C
there was a party goin on when I got there

G7                              D          G7
I heard a welcome speech from a small town mayor
[Chorus]
           C
He said we got 100 gallons of sweet red wine

G7
made from the biggest watermelons on the vine

        C
help yourself to some but obey the law

       G7   N.C.                D   N.C.   G7
if you drink don't drive do the Watermelon Crawl
[Verse 3]
         G7
When the band started playin a watermelon queen

                                         D          G7
Said let me show you something that you ain't never seen

                                C
she grabbed me by the arm said c'mon let's go

G7                              D     G7
she dipped down spun around and do-si-do'd
[Verse 4]
    G
She rocked back on her heels dropped down to her knees

                                  D                  G7
crawled across the floor then she jumped back to her feet

                                   C
she wiggled and she jiggled - beat all you ever saw

      G7                       D          G7
said "This is how you down the Watermelon Crawl
[Chorus]
           C
He said we got 100 gallons of sweet red wine

         C
