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 made Grandma's garden grow
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
And I said I used to watch her rake the rocks out
And tie up every vine with love and hate
That little peice of Grandma taught me some lessons
And without her I'd never have faith
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 made Grandma's garden grow
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
In the garden of The Father now she's home
Grandma's love is what made Grandma's garden grow
Grandma's love is what made Grandma's garden grow
