Verse 1: 
 
E                                A 
I used to love to walk behind my daddy 
B                             E 
as he plowed our garden every spring 
                                          A 
little barefeet in the dirt would make me happy 
      B                                    E 
as he talked about what harvest time would bring 
                                         A 
he'd say "Son this whole world is like a garden 
    B                              E 
and what you sow your surely gonna reap 
                                          A 
when bitter seeds are planted hearts will hardened 
      B                                 E 
but a caring hand will make the harvest sweet....And

              A                   E 
He was sowin' love....... for the family

like a good father does

he was sowin' love 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
E                                      A 
How I used to love to set and watch my mama 
B                               E 
working with her needle and her thread 
                                 A 
so patiently she'd listen to our problems 
       B                            E 
and we knew she heard every word we said 
                                              A 
she'd say,"Children this old world is full of scratches 
    B                                 E 
and in your life your bound to have a few 
                                         A 
I guess that's why the good Lord gave us patches 
   B                                   E 
so we could start each day out feeling new

she was sowin' love...... she took a little extra time 
        A                      E 
looking forward to a bountiful harvest 
       B                                 E 
like a good mama does.... she was sowin' love 
                 A               E

They were sowin' love
