[Verse]
When our eyes are dimmed with tears, we fail to realize
That we're repenting through the years our sins though memory dies
Now my sweetheart has thrown me down
And in life’s sea, I'm left to drown
But just as sure as wintry winds will blow
You're gonna reap just what you sow
[Chorus]
You got to reap what you sow in the sweet, sweet bye and bye
When the fire of my love shall cease to burn
You’re gonna call me in vain, and you'll hang your head and cry
I'll be far, far away and I'll not return
Lord, many times you'll feel blue, you're gonna miss my hug and kiss
When your new lover quits and turns to go
But if you make your own bed hard, don't you call on the good Lord
'Cause He promised you shall reap just what you sow
[Chorus]
I say you got to reap what you sow in the sweet, sweet bye and bye
When the fire of my love shall cease to burn
You’re gonna call me in vain, and you’ll hang your head and cry
I'll be far, far away and I’ll not return
Lord, many times you'll feel blue, you're gonna miss my hug and kiss
When your new lover quits and turns to go
But if you make your own bed hard, don't you call on the good Lord
’Cause He promised you shall reap just what you sow
[Chorus]
I say you got to reap what you sow in the sweet, sweet bye and bye
When the fire of my love shall cease to burn
You're gonna call me in vain, and you'll hang your head and cry
I'll be far, far away and I'll not return
Lord, many times you'll feel blue, you're gonna miss my hug and kiss
When your new lover quits and turns to go
But if you make your own bed hard, don't you call on the good Lord
'Cause He promised you shall reap just what you sow
You Shall Reap Just What You Sow was written by Alexander Joseph Robinson.
