You're gonna reap what you sow,
In the sweet, sweet by-'n-by,
When the fire of my love shall
cease to burn,
You will call me in vain,
And hang your head and cry,
But I'll be far away; I'll not
return!
Now, many times, when you're blue,
You will miss my hug and kiss,
When your new lover quits and turns
to go,
If you make your own bed hard,
Don't you call on the Lord,
'Cause He's promised you shall
reap just what you sow!
