It's beeen a really loong time since I last heard this song, and I was wondering if anyone knew the lyrics to it. I seem to have forgotten some of it.
Thanks.
Watermelon song (I'm not sure who wrote it)

You can talk about your apples
your peaches and your pears
Your simmons hangin' on your simmon tree
But I bet you my honey
Of all the fruit that grows
That watermelon is the fruit for me

Oh yes, oh hambone is sweet
Chicken is good!
Possum meat is mighty mighty fine!

Oh, give me, oh give me
I really wish you would
That watermelon hangin' on that vine

Oh, when I went to get it
It was a stormy night
The moon and stars had not begun to shine...... something something something

That watermelon is the fruit for me.
Oh yes, oh hambone is sweet
Chicken is good!
Possum meat is mighty mighty fine!

I can't say I know this song, but when you mentioned country and watermelon in the same sentence, my first thought went to The Watermelon Crawl by Tim McGraw. It's a silly, silly song, but the beat is uptempo and very catchy. If you're a country fan this will get your toes tappin'
