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
