 Intro
 Let wild  winter winds bellow 'n'  blow
 I'm as warm  as a July to ma to.
 ]
  Peaches on the shelf
  Potatoes  in the bin
  Supper's  ready, everybody  come on in
  Taste  a little of the summer,
  Taste  a little of the summer,
  You can taste  a little of the summer
  grandma  put it all  in jars.
 Well, there's a root  cellar, fruit cellar down  below
Watch  you head now, and down  you go (Chorus)
Maybe  you're weary an' you don't  give a damn
 I bet  you never tasted her blackberry  jam. (Chorus)
 Ah, she's got magic  in her - you know  what I mean
 She puts the sun  and rain in  with her beans. (Chorus)
 What with the snow  and the economy and ev'ry'thing,
 I think  I'll jus' stay down here and eat  until spring. (Chorus)
 When I go down  to see my grandma I gain  a lot of weight
 With her  dear hands she gives me plate  after plate.
 She  cans the pickles, sweet  & dill
 She  cans the songs of the whippoorwill
 And the morning  dew and the evening  moon
 I really  got to go see  her soon
 'Cause these  canned goods I buy  at the store
Ain't  got the summer in them anymore.
You  bet, grandma, as sure  as you're born
 I'll take  some more potatoes and a thunderstorm.  (Chorus)
