Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
Gonna mulch it deep and low
Gonna make it fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row
Please bless these seeds I sow
Please keep them safe below
Till the rains come tumblin' down
Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones
We are made of dreams and bones
I need a spot to call my own
For the time is close at hand
Grain for grain, sun and rain
Find my way in Nature's chain
Tune my body and my brain
To the music of the land
Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
Gonna mulch it deep and low
Gonna make it fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row
Please bless these seeds I sow
Please keep them safe below
Till the rains come tumblin' down
Plant your rows short or long
Season with a cheerful song
Mother Earth will make you strong
If you give her loving care
An old crow watching from a tree
Got his hungry eye on me
In my garden I'm as free
As that feathered thief up there
Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
Gonna mulch it deep and low
Gonna make it fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row
Please bless these seeds I sow
Please keep them safe below
Till the rains come tumblin' down
