              Peaches on the shelf

              DSupper's ready, evGerybody come on Din
              DTaste a little of the suGmmer,
              DTaste a little of the suGmmer,
              You can Dtaste a little of the Gsummer

Well, there's a Droot cellar, fruit cellar Gdown below
EmWatch you head now, and Gdown you go   (Chorus)
DMaybe you're weary an' you Gdon't give a damn
I Embet you never tasted her Gblackberry jam.   (Chorus)

With hEmer dear hands she gives me Gplate after plate.

And the mDorning dew and the Gevening moon
I rDeally got to go Gsee her soon
'Cause Dthese canned goods I Gbuy at the store
DAin't got the summer in them Ganymore.
DYou bet, grandma, as Gsure as you're born
I'll tDake some more potatoes and a Gthunderstorm.  (Chorus)
