GRANDMA HAD A GARDEN
IN THE BACK YARD
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
TALKIN' 'BOUT TOMATOS
SHE WAS TALKIN'
'BOUT HER FAMILY
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 MADE
GRANDMA'S GARDEN GROW
WE ALL WENT TO CHURCH
LAST SUNDAY MORNIN'
THE SAME ONE SHE
ATTENDED SIXTY YEARS
THEY ASKED ME IF I'D SAY
SOME WORDS ABOUT HER
SO I WALKED UP FIGHTIN'
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 GROUND
TAUGHT ME SOME LESSONS
AND WITHOUT HER
I'D HAVE NEVER HAD A PRAYER
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 MADE
GRANDMA'S GARDEN GROW
I'VE GOT CHILDREN OF MY OWN
AND I WATCH 'EM PLAY
WHEN THEY'RE ALL GROWN UP
I HOPE I HEAR THEM SAY
GRANDMA'S GARDEN
GREW UP STRONG
'CAUSE WE WEEDED OUT
WHATEVER COULD
GO WRONG
OH 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 MADE
GRANDMA'S GARDEN GROW
