Verse1:      G5
      I was driving through Georgia in late July
                                      D5     G5
      on a day hot enough to make the Devil sigh
                            C5
      I saw a homemade sign written in red
      G5                      D5        G5
      "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

Biss:                 C5
      He said we got 100 gallons of sweet red wine
      G5
      made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
               C5
      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]
