Sower Of Seeds
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Behold the sower in the field,
With her arm she scatters-ah! the seeds.
Some seeds are trodden in the pathway;
Some seeds fall on stony ground.
But some seeds fall on fallow ground
They grow and multiply-ah! a thousand fold.
Oyey, oyey, oyey, oh-oo
Oyey, oyey oyey, oyey
Some seeds fall on fallow ground,
They grow and multiply-ah! a thousand fold.
La la la la la. La la la la la,
La la la la la. La la. la la la,
Tomorrow we scatter like seeds,
Tomorrow-ah! we are seeds.
Oyey, oyey, oyey, oh-oo
Oyey, oyey oyey, oyey
Tomorrow we scatter like seeds,
Tomorrow-ah! we are seeds.
Lookaway, lookaway, don't you see?
One and one don't make two-ah they make three.
Oyey, oyey, oyey, oh-oo
Oyey, oyey oyey, oyey
Lookaway, lookaway, don't you see?
One and one don't make two-ah! they make three.
Midnight has come, I hear music
And I'll keep on singing (repeat 4 times)
5. We are seeds, we are seeds, we are seeds,
We will grow, we will grow-ah! we will grow.
Oyey, oyey, oyey, oh-oo Oyey, oyey oyey, oyey
We are seeds, we are seeds, we are seeds,
We will grow, we will grow-ah! we will grow.
Midnight has come, I hear music...
