All lyrics clean
Let’s plant a garden for the sisters three.
Plant a row of corn, a row of squash and beans.
The corn gives the bean vine a place to grow.
The squash leaves shade the earth below.
How do we pass what the elders know?
Singing songs while planting rows.
To learn what you sow is what you reap,
you have to love the crow and the bumblebee.
Oh, let’s go down where the honeysuckle grows,
down by the creek where the water flows,
we can plant our seeds and sow our oats. It's easy.
Oh, you’re gonna have rain and you’ll have sunshine.
It takes both, and a little bit of time.
Life is short and it’s yours and mine.
I long for the land where I used to be.
On the prairie wind I hear the elders sing.
If you’ve lost your sisters just sing these notes.
And you’ll find yourself where the honeysuckle grows.
Oh, let’s go down where the honeysuckle grows,
down by the creek where the water flows,
we can plant our seeds and sow our oats.
Oh, you’re gonna have rain and you’ll have sunshine.
It takes both, and a little bit of time.
Life is short and it’s yours and mine. It's easy.
Oh, the sweet sisters three.
Oh, the sweet sisters three.
Oh, the sweet sisters three.
Oh, the sweet sisters three.
