Canned Goods - Greg Brown


    Well let the wild winter wind bellow and blow
    I'm as warm as a July tomato

    [chorus:]
    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

    [repeat chorus]

    Well maybe you are weary and you don't give a damn
    I bet you never tasted her blackberry jam

    [repeat chorus]

    Oh she got magic in her, you know what I mean
    She puts the sun and rain in with her beans

    [repeat chorus]

    What with the snow and the economy and everything
    I think I'll just stay down here and eat until spring

    [repeat chorus]

    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

    [repeat chorus]
