Watermelon on the Vine From Gid Tanner and Skillet Lickers. On Hear those Southern Fiddle and Guitar Records. Rounder LP 

1. See that watermelon, smiling through the fence I really wish that watermelon was mine But the white folks are foolish and the niggers have a lot of sense Or they wouldn���t leave it hanging on the vine 

Chorus: Hambone is sweet, chicken am good Rabbit is so very, very fine But give me, oh give me, oh how I wish you would That watermelon hanging on that vine 

2. You can talk about your apples, your peaches and your peas 

���Simmons a-growing on the tree But bless your heart my honey for you���re the gal for me Or they wouldn���t leave it hanging on the vine 
3. I went to get that melon, it was on one Sunday night Stars they had just begun to shine But when I left that old man���s field I left there on a run But I never left it hanging on that vine
