Oh Hambone is sweet! Chicken and Meat! Possum meat is might mighty fine. (yeehaw!) Oh give me, oh give me (I really wish you would) some of that watermelon hangin' on that vine.

One day I'd thought I'd fetch it. T'was on a rainy night. The moon had just begin to rise and shine. But, then the farmer saw me, and shot me through the fence and I never got that watermelon vine.

This is the version I sing at camp.
