You can boast about your riches, your every wish someone’s command
You can go ’round cheatin’ people, by some trickery or plan
You can tell lies on your neighbor, and think no one will ever know
But just as sure as you are living, you got to reap just what you sow
You’ve got to reap what you sow
Yes, you’ve got to reap what you sow
Oh, on the mountain in the valley
You’ve got to reap just what you sow
You can inconvenience others, to make things easy for yourself
You can steal some poor man’s idea, and accumulate great wealth
But here’s one thing that will happen, it’s been tried and proved before
All the wrong that you are doing, you got to reap just what you sow
You’ve got to reap what you sow
Yes, you’ve got to reap what you sow
Oh, on the mountain in the valley
You’ve got to reap just what you sow
You can take every advantage of a fellow man that is down
You can take somebody’s heartstring, and drag it on the ground
You can high-hat other people, just because you are having luck
Even double-cross your best friend and then try and pa** the buck
But there’s one thing that will happen, makes no difference where you go
Just before your final curtain, you’ve got to reap just what you sow
You’ve got to reap what you sow
Yes, you’ve got to reap what you sow
Oh, on the mountain in the valley
You’ve got to reap just what you sow
You’ve got to reap what you sow
Yes, you’ve got to reap what you sow
Oh, on the mountain in the valley
You’ve got to reap just what you sow
