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 bess  these seeds  i sow,
Someone warm  them from  below,
 Till the  rain comes tumblin down.
Pullin'  weed's and pickin' 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,
tune  my body and  my brain
 to the music from  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 bess  these seeds  i sow,
Someone warm  them from  below,
 Till the  rain comes tumblin down.
Plant  your rows straight  and long,
Temper them  with prayer  and song,
Mother earth  will make  you strong
 If you give  her loving care.
An  old crow watching hungrily
From  his perch  in the yonder  tree,
In  my garden I'm  as free
 As the 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 bess  these seeds  i sow,
Someone warm  them from  below,
 Till the  rain comes tumblin down.
