CHORUS
Sow 'em on the mountain, reap 'em in the valley,
sow 'em on the mountain, reap 'em in the valley,
sow 'em on the mountain, reap 'em in the valley,
you gonna reap just what you sow.
If you've been a gambler, better quit your gamblin',
if you've been a gambler, better quit your gamblin',
if you've been a gambler, better quit your gamblin',
'cause you gonna reap just what you sow.
CHORUS
If you been a tattler, you better quit your tattling,
if you been a tattler, you better quit your tattling,
if you been a tattler, you better quit your tattling,
'cause you gonna reap just what you sow.
CHORUS
If you been a liar, you better you quit your lying,
if you been a liar, you better you quit your lying,
if you been a liar, you better you quit your lying,
'cause you gonna reap just what you sow.
