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 keep them safe below
Till the rains come a-tumblin` down
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, skinned 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
