Thank you, Detroit, you treated me good
But I've been here longer than I should
I enjoyed the money, but I miss my honey so
One thing on my mind, it's watermelon time in Georgia.

Well, it makes a country boy get down in the mouth
When his body's up north but his hearts down south
I said I'd be back; I'd better make tracks today
Lawdy I gotta go, it's watermelon time in Georgia.

Daddy's sitting in the sun, keeps the fish from having fun
My old coon dog is a wantin' to run
And I can't reach, my little Georgia peach too soon
One things on my mind, it's watermelon time in Georgia.

So long Detroit, so long friends
If you're ever down in Macon, won't you please stop in?
And meet the little girl, that's always been my whole world
Well, I'm leaving today, it's watermelon time in Georgia.

Yes, I'm leaving today cause it's watermelon time in Georgia...
