Lyrics
He used to whistle softly in the kitchen
Stirring up some Folgers in a cup
Wearing a pair of bibs and his Merschman ball cap
Just waitin’ for the sun to come up
His calloused hands were worn but still so tender
He’d pick me up before he left the house
He’d spin me around and say "Kid, gosh you’re growing"
and he’d sing these words before he put me down
Plant a little seed, add a lot of love
Ask for a little blessing from the good Lord above
A little sun, a little rain, a little something’ll show
So plant a little seed and watch it grow
Well I didn’t understand what he was saying
Until I’d done some living of my own
Now I teach my kids their Granddaddy’s lesson
And every night I sing them his song
Plant a little seed, add a lot of love
Ask for a little blessing from the good Lord above
A little sun, a little rain, a little something’ll show
So plant a little seed and watch it grow
The secret to life is still the same
Today as it was yesterday
Plant a little seed, add a lot of love
Ask for a little blessing from the good Lord above
A little sun, a little rain, a little something’ll show
So plant a little seed and watch it grow
So plant a little seed and watch it grow
