Moonlight shining on the grassy meadow
G D7 G
Looks like diamonds shining in the night
B7 C
Whippoorwills singing in the white oak
G D7 G
Coon dogs barkin' in the bright moonlight
C G
Honeysuckle smells just like sweet perfume
C G
Old dogs lyin' over by the door
C G
Watermelon rinds momma puts up in a jar
C G
And the city folks they call us poor
B7 C
Singin' Rock Of Ages on the front porch
G D7 G
Watchin' fireflies light up the mountain dew
B7 C
Listenin' to Bill Monroe on the Opry
G D7 G
Singin' somethin' 'bout his Uncle Penn
C G
Honeysuckle smells just like sweet perfume

Old dogs lyin' over by the door
C G
Watermelon rinds momma puts up in a jar
C G
And the city folks they call us poor

God He paints a picture in the evenin' sky
G D7 G
Blue and purple orange and shades of red
B7 C
He knows we can't afford no fancy paintings
G D7 G
So we look at the real thing instead

Honeysuckle smells just like sweet perfume

Old dogs lyin' over by the door

Watermelon rinds momma puts up in a jar
