Introdução:
G
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,
C
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes,
G
True love and homegrown tomatoes
verse 1
G
There's nothin in the world that I like better
C
Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes
D7
Up in the morning out in the garden
G
Pick you a ripe one, don't get a hard 'un
G
Plant em in the springtime, eat em in the summer
C
All winter without em's a culinary bummer
D7
I forget all about the sweatin and the diggin
G
Every time I go out and pick me a big 'un
Chorus
G
You can go out and eat em, that's for sure
C
But there's nothin a home grown tomato won't cure
D7
Put em in a salad, put em in a stew
G
You can make your own, your very own tomato juice
G
You can eat em with eggs, you can eat em with gravy
C
You can eat em with beans, pinto or navy
D7
Put em on the side, put em in the middle
G
Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle
Chorus
G
If I could change this life I lead
C
You could call me Johnny Tomatoseed
D7
I know what this country needs
G
It's home grown tomatoes in every yard you see.
G
When I die don't bury me
C
In a box in a cold dark cemetery
D7
Out in the garden would be much better
G
Where I could be a pushin' up the home grown tomatoes.
Chorus
