Lefty Frizzel - Watermelon Time In Georgia lyrics

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
