        I saw a homemade sign [C]written in red


        [G7]"Run! County Watermelon [D]Festival [G7]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:            C


        He said we got 100 gallons of sweet red wine


        [G]made from the biggest watermelons on the vine


        help your[C]self 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)
