Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
A couple of songs come to mind:

1!. The Garden Song (aka Inch by Inch) -- as sung by Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie on the "Precious Friend" CD

CHORUS:
Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
Gonna mulch it deep and low
Gonna make it fertile ground

Inch by inch, row by row
Please bless these seeds I sow
Please keep them safe below
'Till the rain comes tumbling down

Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones
We are made of dreams and bones
Need a place to call my own
'Cause the time is close at hand

Grain for grain, sun and rain
Find my way in nature's chain
Till my body and my brain
Tell the music of the land

CHORUS

Plant your rows straight and long
Season with a prayer and song
Mother Earth will make you strong
If you give her loving care

CHORUS

[The Anti-Garden Verses - by someone whose name Arlo forgot]:
Slug by slug, weed by weed
Boy this garden's got me t'd
All the insects come to feed
On my tomato plants

Sunburnt face, skinned up knees
The kitchen's chocked with zucchinis
I'm shopping at the A&P's
Next time I get the chance
[End of Anti-Garden Verses]

Old crow watching from a tree
He's got his hungry eye on me
In my garden I'm as free
As that feathered thief up there

CHORUS

?Cherry Lane Music Co (ASCAP)


2!. In Dead Earnest, written by Lee Hays -- as sung by Pete Seeger, same album:

In Dead Earnest Lyrics

If I should die before I wake,
All my bone and sinew take
Put me in the compost pile
To decompose me for a while!.

Worms, water, sun will have their way,
Returning me to common clay
All that I am will feed the trees
And little fishes in the seas!.

When radishes and corn you munch,
You may be having me for lunch
And then excrete me with a grin,
Chortling, "There goes Lee again!."

'Twill be my happiest destiny To die and live eternally!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
