The Garden Song Songtext
von Rosenshontz

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 these seeds I sow
Someone, warm them from below
Till the rain comes a tumblin′ down

Pullin' weeds, pickin′ stones
Man is made of dreams and bones
I feel the need to grow my own
For the time is near at hand
Grain for grain, sun and rain
Find my way thru Nature's chain
As I tune my body and my brain
To the music of the land


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 these seeds I sow
Someone, warm them from below
Till the rain comes a tumblin' down

Now, make your rows straight and long
Temper them with prayer and song
Mother Earth will make you strong
If you give her love and care
See that crow watchin′ hungrily
From his perch on 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 these seeds I sow
Someone, warm them from below
Till the rain comes a tumblin' down
