[Verse 1]
I've been planting a garden here in a little front yard
Growing it just for my darling
I take loving care to make sure
That there will be bluebonnets for my baby
When he comes home

[Verse 2]
He's out rambling and working
Saving the whole winter through
Oh, how his body is hurting
But soon he's gonna smile
I told him that I'll have
Bluebonnets for my baby
When he comes home

[Bridge]
My baby seems down in the dirt
To wait for the sun and the rain
My fingers cling to the cool dark earth
And ache to touch him again

[Verse]
This world is mean and it's dirty
Any man is gonna forget
What it's like to see something pretty
You walked around our bed
He looked up and there was

Bluebonnets for my baby
When he comes home
Bluebonnets for my baby
When he comes home
Bluebonnets for my baby
When he comes home
