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   'Til 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      Inch by inch, row by row   Gonna make this garden grow   Gonna mulch it deep and low   Gonna make it fertile ground      Plant your rows straight and long   Season with a prayer and song   Mother Earth will make you strong   If you give her loving care      Inch by inch, row by row   Gonna make this garden grow   Gonna mulch it deep and low   Gonna make it fertile ground      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 zucchinis   I'm shopping at the A&P's   Next time I get the chance      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      Inch by inch, row by row   Gonna make this garden grow   Gonna mulch it deep and low   Gonna make it fertile ground
