Watermelon Time In Georgia Lyrics - Lefty Frizzel

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 

Well it makes a country boy get down in the mouth 

When his body's livin' north but his heart's down south 

I said I'd be back; I'd better make some tracks today 

Lawdy I gotta go, it's watermelon time in Georgia 

Daddy's sitting in the sun, keeps the fish from 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 

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 

Well, I'm leaving today, it's watermelon time in Georgia
