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 til the rain comes tumbling down
Pulling weeds and picking stones we are made of dreams and bones
I feel the need is to grow my own til the time is close ahead
Grain for grain sun and rain I find my ways in nature's chain
I tune my body and my brain to the music of the land
(chorus)
So, plant your rows straight and long and temper them
with prayer and song mother earth can keep you strong
and give her love and care there was an old crow watching
Hunger leaf from his perching yonder tree
In my garden I'm as free as that feather theif up there
(chorus)
