Watermelon Man
W.A. Ramsey
Too Late to Turn Back Now
I don't want your porkchops
And I don't want your turnip peas
And I think I'll pass on the corn bread
Cause a piece of watermelon's what I dig
And it's so strong
It's been so long
Since I tasted that there forbidden fruit
My heart sighs
when I realize
that watermelon time is gettin due
Cause I'm a watermelon man
I can see you bright eyed
and I can see your smile
Baby I can tell by your swan song
That you can drive a sane man wild
with your straw hair
blowing free there
and them big brown eyes staring back at me
It is just fine
When you put your hand in mine
And we lay in the shade of a big magnolia tree
Because I'm a watermelon man
A water, water melon
Why don't you come to my cabin
And we can watch the melon patch
We can dance in the meadow
What more could I ask
What more
Let's go find the covers or Round the corners
Summer dreams,
I can't think of any others,
that can eat their watermelon the way that I can
It is a new day
Wantin' to waste away
and the sun is starting to rise up over the hill,
And it's alright
Baby I ain't lost my appetite
Cause I'm eating all a these watermelons too
Cause I'm a Watermelon Wooooooooo
