Homegrown Tomatoes
Written and recorded by Guy Clark
C
Ain't nothin' in the world that I like better
F
Than bacon & lettuce and homegrown tomatoes
G7
Up in the mornin' out in the garden
C G7 C
Get you a ripe one don't get a hard one
C
Plant 'em in the spring eat 'em in the summer
F
All winter without 'em's a culinary bummer
G7
I forget all about the sweatin' and diggin'
C G7 C
Every time I go out and pick me a big one
Homegrown tomatoes home grown tomatoes
F
Wha'd life be without homegrown tomatoes
G7
Only two things that money can't buy
C G7 C
And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes
Well you can go out to eat and that's for sure
F
But it's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure
G7
Put 'em in a salad put 'em in a stew
C G7
You can make your very own tomato juice
C
You can eat 'em with eggs eat you can eat 'em with gravy
F
Eat 'em with beans pinto or navy
G7
Put 'em on the side put 'em in the middle
C G7 C
Put a homegrown tomato on a hotcake griddle
Repeat #2
If I's to change this life that I lead
F
Well I'd be Johnny tomato seed
G7
Cause I know what this country needs
C G7 C
It’s homegrown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don't bury me
F
In a box in a cemetery
G7
Out in the garden would be much better
C G7 C
If I could be pushin' up homegrown tomatoes
Repeat #2
