Skip Ewing - Grandma's Garden lyrics

Grandma had a garden in her 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 said, "I love to watch the seeds I've planted Grow up into what they ought to be." I thought she was talking 'bout tomatoes But she was talkin' 'bout her family Grandma's garden, it grew up strong 'Cause she weeded out whatever could go wrong She'd say, "The straight and narrow is toughest row to hoe." Just remember what you reap is what you sow Grandma's love is what made Grandma's garden grow I went to church last Sunday morning The same one she attended sixty years They asked me I could say some words about her And I got up fightin' back tears And I said, I used to watch her rake the rocks out And tie up every vine with love and care That little piece of ground taught me some lessons And without her I wouldn't have a prayer Grandma's garden, it grew up strong 'Cause she weeded out whatever could go wrong She'd say, "The straight and narrow is toughest row to hoe." Just remember what you reap is what you sow Grandma's love is what made Grandma's garden grow Some day when I have children of my own AI'm watchin' them play Someday when they grow up, I want to hear them say ... Grandma's garden, it grew up strong 'Cause she weeded out whatever could go wrong She'd say, The straight and narrow is toughest row to hoe." In the garden of the Father, now she's home Grandma's love is what made Grandma's garden grow
