GOT TO REAP WHAT YOU SOW
As sung by Jazz Gillum on "Jazz Gillum: Complete Recorded Works in Chronological Order, Vol. 2, 1938-1941" (Document Records, DOCD-5198)

I woke up this mornin', Lord, and my baby was gone. (2x)
I didn't have no sweet woman just to hold me in her arms.

I'm a poor, poor boy, and a great long way from home. (2x)
I ain't got nobody, just to teach me right from wrong.

I'm bowed down in trouble and you know just how I feel: (2x)
Like a broke-down engine without a drivin' wheel.

That's why I'm leavin'; I ain't got no place to go, (2x)
Because the Good Book say you gonna reap just what you sow.
