Alberta Hunter — You Shall Reap Just What You Sow

[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
