Garden Song Lyrics by Arlo Guthrie

Garden Song Lyrics

    CHORUS:
    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 rain comes tumbling down

    Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones
    We are made of dreams and bones
    Need a place to call my own
    'Cause the time is close at hand

    Grain for grain, sun and rain
    Find my way in nature's chain
    Till my body and my brain
    Tell the music of the land

    CHORUS

    Plant your rows straight and long
    Season with a prayer and song
    Mother Earth will make you strong
    If you give her loving care

    CHORUS

    [The Anti-Garden Verses - by someone whose name Arlo forgot]:
    Slug by slug, weed by weed
    Boy this garden's got me t'd
    All the insects come to feed
    On my tomato plants

    Sunburt face, skined up knees
    The kitchen's chocked with zuchinis
    I'm shopping at the A&P's
    Next time I get the chance
    [End of Anti-Garden Verses]

    Old crow watching from a tree
    He's got his hungry eye on me
    In my garden I'm as free
    As that feathered thief up there

    CHORUS
