Back in Oklahoma in a watermelon patch One evenin' me and a friend of mine had planned to swipe a batch I found a fifty pounder big and ripe and fine I whispered to my buddy hey I got mine
I got mine I got mine In that watermelon patch I got mine
Just then we heard a shotgun blastin' loud and clear Then we heard a voice say what you boys doin' here Buckshots started flyin' we left the goods behind And speakin' of behind boys I got mine
I got mine I got mine Before I reached the hogwire fence I got mine
[ dobro - guitar ] Then up walks the farmer's daughter she'd hit about 2-0-5 Snaggled tooth and knock-kneed with romance in her eye He said you got a choice boy this gun or Caroline Everybody needs a sweetheart so I got mine
I got mine I got mine In that watermelon patch I got mine
The old man got real friendly and laid his shotgun down I grabbed it with the speed of light and started makin' ground I was racin' for my freedom and for the county line My buddy didn't make it but I got mine
I got mine I got mine My buddy's got a sweetheart he's got mine I got mine I got mine My buddy's got a sweetheart he's got mine
