[Dm] [G]
I was driving through Georgia in late [Dm] July on [G] a day hot enough to make [D] the devil sigh.
[G] I saw a homemade sign [C] written in [G] red, the Rhyme County [D] Watermelon Festival [G] ahead.
Yeah, I wasn't in a hurry, so I slowed down, took a two-lane road [Dm] to a one-heart [G] town.
There was a party going on [C] when I got there, [G] I heard a welcome speech from [D] a small [G] town man.
He [C] said, we've got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine [G] made from the biggest watermelon.
Gonna find help [C] yourself, son, but obey the [G] law.
If you drink, [D] don't drive, do the watermelon [G] crawl.
When
[Bb] [G] the band started playing, the watermelon queen said, let me show you something that [Dm] you ain't never [G] seen.
She grabbed me by the arm, [C] said, come on, let's go.

[G]
She rocked back on her heels, dropped down to her knees, sprawled across the [D] floor, then she [F] jumped back on her [G] feet.
