G                      C         
See that watermelon smiling 
         G
through the fence
G                                 
I really wanna eat that watermelon
  D

G                              
Some folks sure am foolish, They

haven't got a lot of sense
                             D

       G
on that vine

{Chorus}
C                 G
Hambone is sweet, chicken is good
G                        D
Rabbit is so very, very fine
G                             C  
But  give me, oh give me, now how
            G

{Verse 2}

G                                
You may talk about your apples, 
C                      G
your peaches and your pears
G                          D
'Simmons a-growing on the tree
G                                
But bless your heart my honey, 
C                  G

                             D     
Or they wouldn't leave it hanging 
         G
on that vine

 I wish you would
                 D              G

{Verse 3}
G                          C     
I went to get that melon, it was 
                G
on one Sunday night
G                              
The stars they had just begun to 
   D
shine
G                                  
When I left that old man's field, I
C                 G
 left there in a run
                          D     
But I didn't leave that melon on 
       G
that vine

{Chorus}
C                 G
Hambone is sweet, chicken is good
G                        D
Rabbit is so very, very fine
G                             C  
But  give me, oh give me, now how
            G
 I wish you would
                 D              G
