Verse1: 	 G7
 	 I was driving through Georgia in late July
 	                                 D     G7
 	 on a day hot enough to make the Devil sigh
 	                       C
 	 I saw a homemade sign written in red
 	 G7                      D        G7
 	 "Run! County Watermelon Festival 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
 	          C
 	 help yourself 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)
