Homegrown Tomatoes

Ain't nothin' in the world that I like better

Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes

Up in the mornin' out in the garden get you a ripe and don't get a hard one

Plant 'em in the spring eat 'em in the summer

All winter without them's a culinary bummer

I forget all about the sweatin' and diggin' everytime I go out and pick me a big one

Homegrown tomatoes homegrown tomatoes

What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes

Only two things money can't buy that's true love and homegrown tomatoes

[ fiddle ]

I've been out to eat and that's for sure

But it's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure

Put 'em in a salad put 'em in a stew you can make your very own tomato juice

Eat 'em with eggs eat 'em with gravy eat 'em with beans pinto or navy

Put 'em on the side put 'em in the middle

Put a homegrown tomato on a hotcake griddle

Homegrown tomatoes...

[ fiddle ]

If I's to change this life that I lead I'd be Johnny tomato seed

Cause I know what this country needs homegwrown tomatoes in every yard you see

When I die don't bury me in a box in a cemetery

Out in the garden would be much better I could be pushin' up homegrown tomatoes

Homegrown tomatoes...

Homegrown tomatoes...
