Hold On To Me Testo

Get you a ripe one, don¡Â¯t pick a hard 'un
Plant 'em in the spring, eat ¡Â®em in the summer
All winter without ¡Â®em is a culinary bummer
I forget all about the sweatin¡Â¯ and the diggin¡Â¯
Every time I go out and pick me a big ¡Â®un

Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can¡Â¯t buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes

You can go out to eat an that¡Â¯s for sure
But there¡Â¯s nothin¡Â¯ a homegrown tomatoe won¡Â¯t cure
Put ¡Â®em in a salad, put ¡Â®em in a stew
You can make your own tomatoe juice
You can eat ¡Â®em with eggs, eat ¡Â®em with gravy
You can eat ¡Â®em with beans, pinto or navy
Put 'em on the side, put ¡Â®em in the middle
Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle

Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can¡Â¯t buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes

If I¡Â¯s to change this life I lead
You could call me Johnny Tomatoe Seed
¡Â®Cause I know what this country needs
Home grown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don¡Â¯t bury me
In a box in a cold dark cemetary
Out in the garden would be much better
¡Â®Cause I could be pushin ¡Â®up a home grown tomatoe

Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can¡Â¯t buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes
