Sweet-Mary (The Water-Melon Song)

I feel at home in the vast cotton fields
I like to rest there alone after a day's work
Above me the blue sky and in my heart she
Because I think longingly only of Sweet Mary

Green is the melon and red is the sweet wine
Goch sweet as her lips they can never be
Yes, the banana is yellow and the hazelnut is brown
But her eyes are blue and I must love them

A cowboy song sounds through the prairie
And I dream you were with me Sweet Mary
I knew a lot of girls in the state of Tennessee
But none was half as beautiful as Sweet Mary

Green is the melon and red is the sweet wine
But they can never be as sweet as her lips
Yes, the banana is yellow and the hazelnut is brown
But her eyes are blue and I must love them

A cowboy song sounds through the prairie
And I dream you were with me Sweet Mary
I knew a lot of girls in the state of Tennessee
But none was half as beautiful as Sweet Mary

That's why I need a black horse even faster than the wind
Then I would soon be in your arms Sweet Mary
A cowboy song sounds through the prairie
And I dream you were with me Sweet Mary

You just have to be faithful to me, I'll come as soon as I can
Oh Sweet Mary Sweet Mary then love begins for us

Sweet Mary
