Charlotte Diamond - The Garden Song lyrics

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
