Sowin' Love
By
Paul Overstreet
[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
[Chorus]
A E
He was sowin' love....... for the family
B E E7
he was sowin' love...... he took a little extra time
A E
looking forward to a bountiful harvest
B
like a good father does
E
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
[Chorus]
A E
She was sowin' love...... for the family
B E E7
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....for the family
B E E7
they were sowin' love...they took a little extra time
A E
looking forward to a bountiful harvest
B E
they took good care of us...they were sowin' love
B
Yeah, they did it all for us
E B E
They were sowin' love
