(Verse)

A                     G

In my father's garden

G                       D

He grows so many things

D                           C

He mindful of the fertile soil

C                           G

And all the gifts she brings

 

(Chorus)

B                                C

Lettuce, cabbage or swish chard!

B                                 C

It grows so big it fills the yard

B                                                        C              

These are just some of the thing you see

C                           D

In my father's garden,

G

So come on in!

 

(Verse)

In my father's garden

The earthworms are his friends

He thanks them almost every day

For all the help they lend.

 

(Chorus)

He reaps what he sows & sows what he reaps

All the from blessing of the compost heap

These are just some of the thing you see

In my father's garden,

So come on in!

His garden is a healing place

Bm A Bm / Bm / A!

The words that I often hear him say

Growing! Its the good old homestead way!

A

 

(Verse)

All the neighbors do rejoice

When harvest times around

From his garden he freely shares

To all the people in town

 

(Chorus)

There's so many things to eat

Just dig a potato or pull up a beet

...And wait that's not all...

Carrots, kale, or a celery shoot

Or any number or types of tuberous roots

These are just some of the thing you see

In my father's garden,

So come on in!

 

(Verse)

In my father's garden

Every seed does germinate

From my father's garden

Right down to the dinner plate

 

(Chorus)

Its the time of harvest! The bounty grows!

The cornucopia overflows!

These are just some of the thing you see

In my father's garden,

So come on in!

 

(Outro)

My father is a humble man

A good steward of the land

Tends his garden with his bare hands

Touch the earth! I hope you understand
