Eddie Lightner - Watermelon Moon

Watermelon Moon (Eddie Lightner)

In the stillness of the night
Is when I hear you
When the Kings of Bluegrass all leave the stage
And I’ll be by the river
We’ll find a tune that suits you
And we’ll pass the clear water while we play

I’ll meet you under that watermelon moon
We’ll all gather ‘round that watermelon moon
There’s always room for one more
If you seek goodness not fortune
And I’ll meet you under that watermelon moon

You play each note from the heart
Giving full value and faith
Come with wisdom to the rind
And promise to pass the kind
And be sure to guide others on the way

I’ll meet you under that watermelon moon
We’ll all gather ‘round that watermelon moon
There’s always room for one more
If you seek goodness not fortune
And I’ll meet you under that watermelon moon

Hold down the rhythm
If you don’t know the melody
And listen to the fiddle to find your way
I wrote this little tune
Called Watermelon Moon
Be sure to share it the next time you play

And I’ll meet you under that watermelon moon
We’ll all gather ‘round that watermelon moon
There’s always room for one more
If you seek goodness not fortune
And I’ll meet you under that watermelon moon
