Verse 1:
[E]I used to love to walk behind my [A]daddy
[B]as he plowed our garden every [E]spring
little barefeet in the dirt would make me [A]happy
as he [B]talked about what harvest time would [E]bring
he'd say "Son this whole world is like a [A]garden
and [B]what you sow your surely gonna [E]reap
when bitter seeds are planted hearts will [A]hardened
but a [B]caring hand will make the harvest [E]sweet....And
Chorus:
He was sowin' [A]love....... for the [E]family
he was sowin' [B]love...... he took a [E]little extra [E7]time
looking [A]forward to a bountiful [E]harvest
like a [B]good father does
he was sowin' [E]love
Verse 2:
[E]How I used to love to set and watch my [A]mama
[B]working with her needle and her [E]thread
so patiently she'd listen to our [A]problems
and we [B]knew she heard every word we [E]said
she'd say,"Children this old world is full of [A]scratches
and [B]in your life your bound to have a [E]few
I guess that's why the good Lord gave us [A]patches
so [B]we could start each day out feeling [E]new
Chorus:
She was sowin' [A]love...... for the [E]family
she was sowin' [B]love...... she took a [E]little extra [E7]time
looking [A]forward to a bountiful [E]harvest
like a [B]good mama does.... she was sowin' [E]love
They were sowin' [A]love....for the [E]family
they were sowin' [B]love...they took a [E]little extra [E7]time
looking [A]forward to a bountiful [E]harvest
they [B]took good care of us...they were sowin' [E]love
Yeah, they [B]did it all for us
They were sowin' [E]love [B][E]
