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
