| Lyrics: | (Mallett)
Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow.
All it takes is a rake and
a hoe and a piece of fertile ground.
Inch by inch, row by row, Someone bless the seeds I
sow.
Someone warm them from below, 'til the rain comes tumbling down.
Pulling weeds and
picking stones, man is made of dreams and bones.
Feel the need to grow my own 'cause the time is
close at hand.
Grain for grain, sun and rain, find my way in nature's chain,
to my body and
my brain to the music from the land.
Plant your rows straight and long, thicker than with
prayer and song.
Mother Earth will make you strong if you give her love and care.
Old crow
watching hungrily, from his perch in yonder tree.
In my garden I'm as free as that feathered
thief up there.
Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow.
All it takes is
a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground.
Inch by inch, row by row, Someone bless the
seeds I sow.
Someone warm them from below, 'til the rain comes tumbling down. |
