Watermelon Crawl

watermelon-crawlBack in 1994, Tracy Byrd introduced the world to the foot-stomping rhythm of the Watermelon Crawl, a country song set at a small-town festival in Georgia. It wasn't long before people all over the world, country fans or not, were doing the Watermelon Crawl line dance. If you've never tried line dancing, the Watermelon Crawl is a great place to start.

Watermelon Crawl Lyrics

". . . we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine, / made from the biggest watermelons on the vine. / Help yourself to some, but obey the law. / If you drink don't drive; do the watermelon crawl."

Country music has often lent itself to people who were long on lyrics and short on classical voice training. Crooners were rare because the story was more important than the voice that sang them. People were also more engaged by the excellent instrumentals that have always pervaded old time and southern style music. However, the new crop of country musicians are great singers and have made a name for themselves as vocalists as well as song writers.
