Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Watermelon Smiling on the Vine
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Watermelon Smiling on the Vine
When I was child up in northern Wisconsin, my grandmother had record with with watermelon smiling on on the vine on it. It was completely different though from the lyrics other people have posted. The song as I know it goes like this.
Watermelon smiling on the vine It's summertime and watermelons fine It's red in the middle and green on top Makes your tounge go flippity flop
Old farmer Grey has gone away And I know that his melons are sweeter than the hay I hop rightover and get me one Hear a shot and away I run
Watermelon smiling on the vine It's summer time and watermelon's fine Their white on the bottom and red in the middle Sweeter than a tune on a fiddle
This is all I can remember, since it has been over 75 years since I heard this song.
