lyrics

Oh, Oh, Oh, It's summertime.
Everyone is drinking and they've got a little moonbeam
On their mind.

Oh, Oh, Oh, let the cold wind go.
Everyone is kissing and they're sipping out the garden house.
Whiskey now in rows.

It's gonna melt your heart gonna melt your heart.
I don't want to love you
I don't even wanna start.
But it's gonna melt your heart, gonna melt your heart.

Oh, Oh, Oh let the cotton grow.
Momma's in the kitchen
And she's scraping fingers cross the rows.
Of bread along the stove.

Papa's in the barnyard with the whiskey and the wine.
Papa's getting older and his tiny little heart is hard to find.
Mama searches all the time.

But he don't wanna love her
He don't wanna even start.
I pray it's gonna melt his heart.
Gonna melt his heart.

And when the hot hot heat.
Is coming on.
And the sweat drips from your darlin's arm.
And he just wants to be love.
But with the summer sun, with the summer sun, with the summer sun.
The demons gonna come.

Oh, oh, oh, it's summertime.
Baby's in the kitchen
And his tiny little mouth it starts to cry.
It's crying all the time.
