Garden Song

Garden Song - Peter, Paul & Mary (彼得、保羅和瑪麗)

Inch by inch, row by row

I'm 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 tumbling down

Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones

We are made of dreams and bones

I feel the need to grow my own

Cause the time is close at hand

Grain for grain, sun and rain

I'll find my way in nature's chain

I tune my body and my brain

To the music of the land

Inch by inch, row by row

I'm 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 tumbling down

So plant your rows straight and long

Temper them with prayer and song

Mother earth can keep you strong

If you give her love and care

Now an old crow watching 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

I'm 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 tumbling

Inch by inch, row by row

Someone bless these seeds I sow

Someone warm them from below

Till the rain comes tumbling down
