Grandma's Garden
Grandma had a garden in the backyard
She always had a way with things that grow
She'd be out there early in the springtime
Just as soon as she was sure it wouldn't snow
She'd say I love to watch the seeds I've planted
Grow up into what they oughta be
Oh, I thought she was talking about tomatoes
She was talking about her family
Grandma's garden grew up strong
Because she weeded out whatever could go wrong
She'd say the straight and narrow is the toughest row to hoe
Just remember what you reap is what you sow
Grandma's love is what gave Grandma's garden growth
I went to church last Sunday morn' to see what she'd attended sixty years
They asked me if I'd say some words about her
And I got up, fighting back the tears
I said I used to watch her rake the rocks out
And tie up every vine with love and care
That little piece of Grandma taught me some lessons
And without her I'd never have a friend
Grandma's garden grew up strong
Cause' she weeded out whatever could go wrong
She'd say the straight and narrow is the toughest row to hoe
Just remember what you reap is what you sow
Grandma's love is what gave Grandma's garden growth
Grandma's garden grew up strong
'Cause she weeded out whatever could go wrong
She'd say the straight and narrow is the toughest row to hoe
In the garden of The Father
Now she's home
Grandma's love is what gave Grandma's garden growth
Grandma's love is what gave Grandma's garden growth
She always had a way with things that grow
She'd be out there early in the springtime
Just as soon as she was sure it wouldn't snow
She'd say I love to watch the seeds I've planted
Grow up into what they oughta be
Oh, I thought she was talking about tomatoes
She was talking about her family
Grandma's garden grew up strong
Because she weeded out whatever could go wrong
She'd say the straight and narrow is the toughest row to hoe
Just remember what you reap is what you sow
Grandma's love is what gave Grandma's garden growth
I went to church last Sunday morn' to see what she'd attended sixty years
They asked me if I'd say some words about her
And I got up, fighting back the tears
I said I used to watch her rake the rocks out
And tie up every vine with love and care
That little piece of Grandma taught me some lessons
And without her I'd never have a friend
Grandma's garden grew up strong
Cause' she weeded out whatever could go wrong
She'd say the straight and narrow is the toughest row to hoe
Just remember what you reap is what you sow
Grandma's love is what gave Grandma's garden growth
Grandma's garden grew up strong
'Cause she weeded out whatever could go wrong
She'd say the straight and narrow is the toughest row to hoe
In the garden of The Father
Now she's home
Grandma's love is what gave Grandma's garden growth
Grandma's love is what gave Grandma's garden growth
