[Intro / Chorus 1] Don't put plastic round my cabbage, Or anywhere near my corn. Keep it off my onions (And leave them carrots alone) [4-Bar Musical Interlude] [Verse] Moving to the country, Where plastic don't touch my food Moving on up to the country Where the folks are friendly, (Even when you're rude) [Verse] Getting out of the city Where plastic don't touch my food Get out of this big old city Won't be deprived of my sleep (Supposed to do a body good) [Chorus 2] Don't put plastic round green beans, Or on top of those peas. Keep it off them taters (And let that radish be) [4-Bar Musical Interlude] [Verse] Gonna hop a freight train Where plastic don't touch my food Gonna jump a rollin' freight car Ridin' with some boxcar brothers Them old boys sure ain't nobody's fool [Chorus 3] Why wrap up a tomato? Go nowhere near that squash. Keep it off my garlic (And give them collard greens a wash) [Bridge] Might just ride a rusty rail car (No plastic gonna touch my food) This train is bound for glory (Maybe tag along with the righteous and the holy) Where no plastic don't ever touch my food (Amen and hallelujah) (DON'T EVER LET THEM FOOL YA...) (Until them plastic cows come home!) 'Take it on home now' [8-Bar Middle Eight: Clawhammer banjo, fiddle double stops, mandolin chop, and walking upright bass] [Verse] Where i get to Where I'm going Aint no plastic gonna touch my food Where I get to where I'm going Gonna eat straight off the vine And throw away my shoes Ain't no plastic gonna touch my food (Won't be deprived of my sleep) (Gonna do my body good) [Outro / Chorus 1] Don't put plastic round my cabbage, Or anywhere near my corn. Keep it off my onions And take all them plastic bags and shove them up your horn! (Won't be deprived of my sleep no more) [Tape saturation release]
