Let's Go Down to the Pumpkin Patch

John was in the musket wars
and saw a lot of fight,
came home with a souvenir
rolling round inside his head.
He said he just wanted a place to rest,
leaving joy in other’s hearts.
That’s when an old gal gave to him
his wish and then he did depart.
Chorus:
Let’s go down to the pumpkin patch
Where they found old Uncle John
The hip flask and the overalls
Still laying out there
Let’s go down to the pumpkin patch
Haven’t been there in a year
Corn stalks and frigid air,
and ghosts whisperin in my ear.
I was out on the porch last night
thinking about when he was here
straw hair and a corn cob pipe
filling out that easy chair
Suddenly the moon was up
and out here over the fields
I saw old Mr. Will O’ Wisp
searching for his long lost bud
The musket ball and empty skull
were long ago transformed
And now each Fall a yellow flower
brings forth a healthy gourd.
Chorus:
