Home Grown Tomatoes — текст песни (John Denver)

There ain`t nothin` in the world that I like better
Than bacon `n lettuce `n home grown tomatoes
Up in the morning, out in the garden
Get you a ripe one, don`t get a hard `un

Plant `em in the spring, eat `em in the summer
All winter without `em is a culinary bummer
I forget all about the sweatin` and the diggin`
Every time I go out and pick me a big `un

Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What`d life be without home grown tomatoes
Only two things that money can`t buy
That`s true love and home grown tomatoes


You can go out and eat an that`s for sure
But there`s nothin` a home grown tomato won`t cure
Put `em in a salad put `em in a stew
You can make your own very own tomato juice

You can eat `em with eggs, eat `em with gravy
You can eat `em with beans, pinto or navy
Put `em on the side, put `em in the middle
Home grown tomato on a hot cake griddle

Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What`d life be without home grown tomatoes
Only two things that money can`t buy
That`s true love and home grown tomatoes

If I`s to change this life I lead
You could call me Johnny Tomato seed
`Cause I know what this country needs
Home grown tomatoes in every yard you see

When I die don`t bury me
In a box in a cold dark cemetary
Out in the garden would be much better
`Cause I could be pushin` up a home grown tomatoes

Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What`d life be without home grown tomatoes
Only two things that money can`t buy
That`s true love and home grown tomatoes
