Watermelon Crawl

Watermelon Crawl - Tracey Byrd

Verse1: G7

I was driving through Georgia in late July

on a day hot enough to make the Devil sigh

I saw a homemade sign written in red

"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

He said we got 100 gallons of sweet red wine

made from the biggest watermelons on the vine

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]
