I sowed a seed underneath the oak tree
I trod it in with my boots, I trampled it down

Gro-oo-oow, Grow,
Gro-oo-oow, Grow

I sowed a rose, underneath the oak grove
With my boots on the ground, into the earth I trampled it down

Gro-oo-oow, Grow

Teach me how to grow
Teach me how to grow

[Instrumental]

G F#m Bm G F#m Bm 2x

Teach me mommy how to grow
How to catch someone’s fancy underneath the twisted oak
gro-o-ove
