From Maine to California
I learned to live the blues
Yeah, when I was just a young man
I learned to sing the blues
When I holed up in Memphis
Lord I, I learned to write 'em too
Yeah the whiteman watermelon
Selling all the time
Yeah, the whiteman watermelon
Selling all the time
Make my living writing watermelon rhymes
Yeah the poor ol' southern white trash
Boy, they sure can sing the blues
Yeah the great American public, hey lawdy
They sure can pick and choose
The Allman Brothers Band could rock ya
Plum out of your shoes
Yeah I sold some songs in Macon
Hey, sold some in L.A. too
Yeah I sold some songs in Nashville
Sold some in Austin too
Unless I miss my guess, folks
I'ma selling some to you
Yeah the whiteman watermelon
Lord, God sellin' all the time
Yeah the whiteman watermelon
Sellin' all the time
I make my living writing, whoo, watermelon rhymes
Te yo do le, yo do le, yo do le li
