 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
