D G
You can taste a little of the summer
C D G
grandma put it all in jars.
D G
Well, there's a root cellar, fruit cellar down below
Em G
Watch you head now, and down you go (Chorus)
D G
Maybe you're weary an' you don't give a damn
Em G
I bet you never tasted her blackberry jam. (Chorus)
D G
Ah, she's got magic in her - you know what I mean
Em G
She puts the sun and rain in with her beans. (Chorus)
D G
What with the snow and the economy and ev'ry'thing,

D G
She cans the songs of the whippoorwill

And the morning dew and the evening moon
D G
I really got to go see her soon

'Cause these canned goods I buy at the store
D G
Ain't got the summer in them anymore.
D G
You bet, grandma, as sure as you're born
D G
I'll take some more potatoes and a thunderstorm. (Chorus)
