Vidalia Onions and Tupelo Honey

Saturday night and my work is done

Got some coin in my pocket, gonna have some fun

Tryin' to find me a girl, but they got nothin' to say

Except you need more money if you want to play.

Vidalia onions and Tupelo honey

That's all I need, I know it might sound funny

I'm a rich man, baby, no I don't have money

But I got Vidalia onions and Tupelo honey.

Don't need no uptown girl to wine and dine

Empty my pockets just to hear her whine

Gonna be patient, got to wait and see

If there's someone out there waiting for me.

Vidalia onions and Tupelo honey

That's all I need, I know it might sound funny

I'm a rich man, baby, no I don't have money

But I got Vidalia onions and Tupelo honey.

Another week gone and I've got a date

The girl next door, don't wanna be late

She's fixin' supper for her and me

Then we'll play it by ear, maybe watch some TV.

She opened the door and I smelled the food

My belly growled, didn't mean to be be rude

She said it's nothin' fancy, grilled dogs and slaw

With Vidalias and honey to cover up my flaws.

Vidalia onions and Tupelo honey

That's all I need, I know it might sound funny

I'm a rich man, baby, no I don't have money

But I got Vidalia onions and Tupelo honey.

Said I've been wasting my time, you're the best in the world

If it's not too late, will you be my girl

She laughed and answered me with her kiss

Now she's by my side and my life is bliss.

Vidalia onions and Tupelo honey

That's all I need, I know it might sound funny

I'm a rich man, baby, no I don't have money

But I got Vidalia onions and Tupelo honey.
