Canned Goods |
| Let those December winds bellow 'n' blow |
| I’m as warm as a July tomato |
| Peaches on the shelf |
| Potatoes in the bin |
| Supper’s ready, everybody come on in |
| Taste a little of the summer |
| Taste a little of the summer |
| You can taste a little of the summer |
| My grandma’s put it all in jars |
| Well, there’s a root cellar, fruit cellar down below |
| Watch you head now, and down you go |
| And there’s |
| Maybe you’re weary an' you don’t give a damn |
| I bet you never tasted her blackberry jam |
| Ah, she’s got magic in her — you know what I mean |
| She puts the sun and rain in with her green beans |
| What with the snow and the economy and ev’ry’thing |
| I think I’ll jus' stay down here and eat until spring |
| When I go to see my grandma I gain a lot of weight |
| With her dear hands she gives me plate after plate |
| She cans the pickles, sweet & dill |
| She cans the songs of the whippoorwill |
| And the morning dew and the evening moon |
| 'N' I really got to go see her pretty soon |
| 'Cause these canned goods I buy at the store |
| Ain’t got the summer in them anymore |
| You bet, grandma, as sure as you’re born |
| I’ll take some more potatoes and a thunderstorm |
| Peaches on the shelf |
| Potatoes in the bin |
| Supper’s ready, everybody come on in, now |
| Taste a little of the summer |
| Taste a little of the summer |
| Taste a little of the summer |
| My grandma put it all in jars |
| Let those December winds bellow and blow |
| I’m as warm as a July tomato |
