[Verse 1]
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
Please bless these seeds I sow
Please warm them from below
'Til the rains come a-tumblin' down

[Verse 2]
Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones
We are made of dreams and bones
Feel the need to grow my own
As 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

[Verse 1]
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
Please bless these seeds I sow
Please warm them from below
'Til the rains come a-tumblin' down
[Verse 3]
Plant your rows straight and long
Season them with prayer and song
Mother Earth will make you strong
If you give her love and care
An old crow watches hungrily
From his perch in yonder tree
And in my garden I'm as free
As that feathered thief up there

[Verse 1]
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
Please bless these seeds I sow
Please warm them from below
'Til the rains come a-tumblin' down
