Now,
when I saw that melon was on a shiny night,
the sky was bright and all the stars did shine.

I say it's fine,
all right,

Now,
when I cut that melon was on a stormy night,
the star was dark,
the stars and all did shine.
The farmer saw me coming and he shot me in the leg,
but I didn't leave that melon on the vine.
