Plant a Little Seed Writers: Bill Whyte, Overdue Bill (ASCAP); Will Denton, There I Was Music (ASCAP); Becky Denton, Shush Yo Wittle Moufy Music (ASCAP) Date of Origination: 02/20/18 VERSE 1 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 VERSE 2 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 CHORUS 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 VERSE 3 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 CHORUS 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 BRIDGE The secret to life is still the same Today as it was yesterday CHORUS 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
