Jim Dixon Lyr Add: You Gotta Reap What You Sow (A Hunter) (13) Lyr Add: YOU GOT TO REAP WHAT YOU SOW (M Lipscomb) 19 May 14


This is closely related to Leroy Carr's version.

YOU GOT TO REAP WHAT YOU SOW
As sung by Mance Lipscomb on "You Got to Reap What You Sow" (Arhoolie, 1993)

Honey, after all I did for you,
You told me, baby, that you were through.
You got to reap just what you sow.

Y'all my money, you left me cold in hand;
Taken my money and give it to your other man.
You got to reap just what you sow.

Cried all last night, the night befo'.
Sh—anyway I'm livin'; I ain't gonna cry no mo'.
You got to reap just what you sow.

When you quit me, you didn't even shake my hand.
That's all right; you gonna understand:
You got to reap just what you sow.

All I ever did for you,
You said, baby, you were through.
You got to reap just what you sow.

Goodbye; I hate to see you go.
I might never see you no mo'.
You got to reap just what you sow.
