Lyrics
Canned Goods
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well let the wild winter wind bellow and blow
I'm as warm as a July tomato
refrão:
There's peaches on the shelf, potatoes in the bin
Supper ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Grandma put it all in jars
Well there's a root cellar, fruit cellar down below
Watch your head now, and down we go
refrão
Well maybe you are weary and you don't give a damn
I bet you never tasted her blackberry jam
refrão
Oh she got magic in her, you know what I mean
She puts the sun and rain in with her beans
refrão
What with the snow and the economy and everything
I think I'll just stay down here and eat until spring
refrão
When I go down to see Grandma, I gain a lot a weight
With her dear hands she gives me plate after plate
She cans the pickles, sweet and dill
And the songs of the whip-or-will and the morning dew and the evening moon
I really gotta go down and see her soon
Cause the canned goods that I buy at the store
Ain't got the summer in em anymore
You bet Grandma as sure as you're born I'll take some more potatoes and
a thunder storm
refrão
