Watermelon Man Lyrics

I don't want your pork chops
I don't want your turnip greens
I think that I'll pass up the cornbread
'Cause a piece of watermelon is what I need

And it's so strong 'cause it's been so long
Since I've tasted that dear forbidden fruit
And my heart sighs as I realize
That that watermelon time is a-gettin' due
And I'm a watermelon man

I can see you, bright eyes
I can see your smile
I can tell by your supper song
That you could drive a sane man wild

With your straw hair flowing freely
And those big green eyes starin' back at me
But it's just fine if you put your hand in mine
And lay in the shade of the big magnolia tree And I'm a watermelon man

Why don't you come to the cabin
Bring your watermelon patch
We'll dance in the meadows
What more could I ask, what more could I ask

Let's go find the covers
Back porch summer's dream
I can't think of many others
That can eat their watermelon the way that they please

And it's a new day
Watermelons waste away
And the sun is startin' to rise up over the hill
But it's all right I haven't lost my appetite
And you know that I'm eatin' those wasted watermelons still
Yes, I am
And I'm a watermelon man
Yes, I'm a watermelon man

(hit it now)
