["When the band started playing the Watermelon Queen said","If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl\"","I saw a homemade sign written in red","","There was a party going on when I got there","If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl\"","Well we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine","I can guarantee that you're gonna have a ball","She dipped down spun around and doe-see-doed","On a day hot enough to make the Devil sigh","","She rocked back on her heels dropped down to her knees","Help yourself to some but obey the law","Took a two lane road to a one horse town","I was driving through Georgia in late July","Well if you're ever down in Georgia round about July","","Help yourself to some but obey the law","Crawled across the floor then she jumped back on her feet","Learning how to do the watermelon crawl","Help yourself to some but obey the law","She said, \"We got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine","","Said, \"This is how you do the watermelon crawl\"","Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine","Have fun you all","Do the watermelon crawl","","\"Let me show you something that you ain't never seen\"","Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine","","Well, I wasn't in a hurry so I slowed down","","If you ain't in a hurry then you ought to stop by","He said, \"We got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine","Do the watermelon crawl","Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine","She wiggled and she giggled beat all you ever saw","If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl","I heard a welcome speech from a small town mayor","She grabbed me by the arm said, \"Come on let's go\"","Rind County Watermelon Festival Ahead",""]

"Watermelon Crawl" is a song by country music artist Tracy Byrd, released as a single from his 1994 album No Ordinary Man. It chronicles the adventure of the narrator to a small town in Georgia where an annual watermelon festival is held. The featured item at this festival is red wine made from the watermelons grown within the town. The mayor of the town urges people to abide by the law and asks them not to drive if they have been drinking; instead, they should do a dance called "The Watermelon Crawl."
The song is apparently based on the Cordele, Georgia Watermelon Days festival.
