Lyrics:
First verse
There's a steamboat coming this way, Loaded down with melons they say, It will be sailing away To France next Saturday. Won't those boys all open their eyes When they see those melon's arrive? They'll be so happy and glad they're all alive.
Chorus
When those boys from Dixie eat that melon on the Rhine, on the river Rhine, Won’t that be fine, you bet you; There will be a Jubilee, And they’ll be in line To meet them and eat them, like they used to do in Dixie How they miss that old plantation, And that water melon rine, So fine My big brother will be there, And you can bet your dough he’ll get his share, When they eat that melon on the Rhine, the River Rhine. When those boys from Dixie eat that melon on the Rhine, on the river Rhine, Won’t that be fine, you bet you; There will be a Jubilee, And they’ll be in line To meet them and eat them, like they used to do in Dixie How they miss that old plantation, And that water melon rine, So fine My big brother will be there, And you can bet you r dough he’ll get his share, When they eat that melon on the Rhine, the River Rhine.
Second verse
Give them each a melon or two, When they have some fighting to do, Just watch those German’s retreat, They’ll meet their waterloo. They’ll surrender all in a bunch Just to get a melon for lunch. Slice them and like them, I’ve got a little hunch.
(Chorus)
