Moonlight shining on the grassy meadow
G D7 G
Looks like diamonds shining in the night

Whippoorwills singing in the white oak

Coon dogs barkin' in the bright moonlight

Honeysuckle smells just like sweet perfume
C G
Old dogs lyin' over by the door

Watermelon rinds momma puts up in a jar
C G
And the city folks they call us poor

Singin' Rock Of Ages on the front porch
G D7 G
Watchin' fireflies light up now and then

Listenin' to Bill Monroe on the Opry
G D7 G
Singin' somethin' 'bout his Uncle Penn

Honeysuckle smells just like sweet perfume

Old dogs lyin' over by the door

Watermelon rinds momma puts up in a jar

God He paints a picture in the evenin' sky
G D7 G
Blue and purple orange and shades of red
B7 C
He knows we can't afford no fancy paintings
G D7 G
So we look at the real thing instead
C G
Honeysuckle smells just like sweet perfume
C G
Old dogs lyin' over by the door
C G
Watermelon rinds momma puts up in a jar
C G
And the city folks they call us poor
C G
Oh the city folk they call us poor
