Please warm them from below, till the rains come a-tumbling down Plant your rows straight and long, season them with prayer and song Mother earth will make you strong, if you give her love and care An old crow watches hungrily, from his perch in yonder tree And in my garden I'm as free, as that feathered thief up there [Vesre 3] 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, please bless these seeds I sow Please warm them from below, till the rains come a-tumbling down
