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
