Default Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...

Here is one GL song that would have a few food mentions... Just had to throw in here !!!!
Song: The General Store !


Well when I was just a baby boy, my happy heart would jump for joyWhen daddy'd take me to the general storeThere was everything that you could name, from carpet tacks to window panesAnd a lazy hound dog laying 'round the doorThere was garden hose and axe handles and bread boards and wax candlesAnd curtain rods and nets made out of twineThere was ink and onion and navy beans and tea and coffee, brown and greenAnd everything from silk to gingham spine Well one summer's day I chanced to spy, a cookie tin away up highUpon a shelf inside the general storeWell I started up to fetch the prize, when the wall it started to capsizeAnd tumble with a crash unto the floorThere was shoes and books and pots and pans and fine combs and garbage cansAnd broken jars all piled around my headThere was caps and boots and black molasses and young seeds for garden grassesAnd pies and cookies, cakes and loaves of bread Well then daddy grabbed me by the arm and took me back out to the farmI couldn't sit down for a week or moreBut the years have passed with no regrets and I know I never will forgetThat place we fondly called the general storeThere was thread and nutmeg, tins and powder, rat poison and clam chowderAnd garden tools a-littering the floorThere was cranberries and clocks and clippers and ringers, rakesAnd carpet slippers, and apple peelers you don't see no more In that great forgotten wonderland, I visited with my old manThe great and unforgettable general store

This is an unreleased song , dont know if it count or not, Oh Linda ? Your the judge ???????????????????????????????????????
