A augmentedA         D9D9     F7F7   E7E7  F7F7   E7E7   A augmentedA   D9D9  A augmentedA
Long as there's a watermelon on the vine, ever'thing is fine

You've got no time to work, no time to play
B7B7             F7F7    E7E7
Busy doin' nothin' all the live long day
A augmentedA        D9D9    F7F7       E7E7
You won't ever change, no matter what I say
F7F7      E7E7    A augmentedA
You're just made that way

Melody
A augmentedA A7A7  D9D9   A augmentedA    A7A7   D9D9
Lazy  bones, sleepin' in the sun
A augmentedA     A7A7   D9D9    A augmentedA      A7A7
How you 'spect to get your day's work done
    D9D9      Dm7Dm7     E7E7  D9D9       F7F7  E7E7 A augmentedA
You'll never get your day's work done sleepin' in the noon day sun
A augmentedA A7A7  D9D9   A augmentedA    A7A7   D9D9
Lazy  bones, sleepin' in the shade
A augmentedA     A7A7   D9D9    A augmentedA     A7A7
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made
    D9D9      DmDm  Dm7Dm7 E7E7  D9D9       F7F7   E7E7  A augmentedA
You'll never get your cornmeal made sleepin' in the evening shade

Bridge
A7A7  D MajorD      D6D6     A augmentedA
When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin'
   D9D9    CdimCdim   A augmentedA
The bugs fall off the vine
   A augmentedA      G#7G#7    G7G7      F#7F#7
And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin'
     D9D9     F7F7      E7E7
That the fish won't grab at your line
A augmentedA A7A7  D9D9   A augmentedA    A7A7   D9D9
Lazy  bones, loafin' through the day
A augmentedA     A7A7   D9D9    A augmentedA    A7A7
How you 'spect to make a dime that way
    D9D9      DmDm  Dm7Dm7 E7E7  D9D9
You'll never make a dime that way
      F7F7 E7E7 A augmentedA
Never heard a word I say.
