Padraig that is one of my all-time favourites too.

Have you ever seen a film called - I think - Green Dolphin Street?

Unfortunately, this is all I can find of the closing scenes:

"Garden Song"

Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow.
All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground.
Inch by inch, row by row, Someone bless the seeds I sow.
Someone warm them from below, 'til the rain comes tumbling down.
Pulling weeds and picking stones, man is made of dreams and bones.
Feel the need to grow my own 'cause the time is close at hand.
Grain for grain, sun and rain, find my way in nature's chain,
to my body and my brain to the music from the land.
Plant your rows straight and long, thicker than with prayer and song.
Mother Earth will make you strong if you give her love and care.
Old crow watching hungrily, from his perch in yonder tree.
In my garden I'm as free as that feathered thief up there.
Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow.
All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground.
Inch by inch, row by row, Someone bless the seeds I sow.
Someone warm them from below, 'til the rain comes tumbling down.

It's very touching how many new members we are getting at the moment. New people from right across the world. Not only this but the viewing figures are way up on a regular basis. Part of me expects to wake up one morning and no one to be here but myself and maybe a few old regulars. But not so, for many of the new people are posting as much or even moreregularly than even toe old hands.

I tke this as a response to the the very kind prayers of people on the forum. Prayer is the water that makes the flowers grow. Without prayer I know there would be no forum.

I think ,well I know in my hear,t that that is what made Mother Angelica at EWTN grow such a great garden. She and the others sisters prayed. Please also pray for protectio naswell, the devil rally hates anything Marian.

Plus times draw close, read the Marian messages from right across the globe. Our Blessed Lady , whose garden this is, is will welll know how to reward those who have watered her garden with their prayers.

Why didn't you post the Makem and Clancy version of the Garden Song, being Irish? It's my favourite version but I don't know how to post videos on here. You know that the Clancys and Tommy Makem were friends with Joan Baez and all the others mentioned in Joe Croziers post, and also with Frank Patterson. If I could post something to add to this thread it would be Pete Seeger and Joan Baez singing Turn, Turn Turn. I was reminded of it by Charlie Johnston's latest post, he said 'this is the time for gathering' ...Maybe someone more competent than me could post these 2 videos, please...?

Thank you Padraig, I hope others enjoy these songs as much as I do, I'm an old folkie!

All God's Creatures is nearly as good as The Garden Song.
