Homegrown Tomatoes

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

Than bacon & lettuce & home grown tomatoes

Up in the mornin' out in the garden

Get you a ripe one don't get a hard one

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

All winter without 'em's a culinary bummer

I forget all about the sweatin' & diggin'

Everytime I go out and pick me a big one

Homegrown tomatoes home grown tomatoes

Wha'd life be without homegrown tomatoes

Only two things money can't buy

That's true love and homegrown tomatoes

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 home grown tomato on a hotcake griddle

If I's to change this life that I lead

I'd be Johnny tomato seed

Cause I know what this country needs

Homegrown 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
