Garden Song Lyrics - John Denver

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 tumblin' down 

Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones 

Man is made of dreams and bones 

Feel the need to grow my own 

'Cause the time is close at hand

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Rainful rain, sun and rain 

Find my way in nature's chain 

Tune my body and my brain 

To the music from the land 

Plant your rows straight and long 

Temper them with prayer and song 

Mother Earth will make you strong 

If you give her love and care 

Old crow watchin' hungrily 

From his perch in 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

An inch by inch, row by row 

Someone bless these seeds I sow 

Someone warm them from below 

Till the rain comes tumblin' down
