Verse1: G7
I was driving through Georgia in late July
RE SOL7
on a day hot enough to make the Devil sigh
DO
I saw a homemade sign written in red
SOL7 RE SOL7
"Run! County Watermelon Festival ahead"
Verse2: Well I wasn't in a hurry so I slowed down
took a two lane road to a one horse town
there was a party goin on when I got there
I heard a welcome speech from a small town mayor
Chorus DO
He said we got 100 gallons of sweet red wine
SOL
made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
DO
help yourself to some but obey the law
G (stop) D (stop) (riff)
if you drink don't drive do the Watermelon Crawl
Verse3: When the band started playin a watermelon queen
Said let me show you something that you ain't never seen
she grabbed me by the arm said c'mon let's go
she dipped down spun around and do-si-do'd
Verse4: she rocked back on her heels dropped down to her knees
crawled across the floor then she jumped back to her feet
she wiggled and she jiggled - beat all you ever saw
said "This is how you down the Watermelon Crawl"
CHORUS
[SOLO - over chorus]
Verse5: If you're ever down in Georgia round about July
if you ain't in a hurry then you oughta stop by
I can guarantee you're gonna have a ball
learnin' how to do the Watermelon Crawl
CHORUS
