| Long time I ah preach it
|
| And now you come reveal it
|
| So you’ve got to bow down on your knees
|
| 'Cause you can’t plant corn and reap peas
|
| Bound to reap what you sow
|
| And you’ll surely get a blow
|
| You’ve got to run for cover, cover
|
| Now that righteous come to tek over, over
|
| Got to run and hide, you sinners
|
| 'Cause I and I was born winners
|
| All the wrong you did, you could never succeed
|
| 'Cause I and I you could never mislead
|
| I said you can’t plant corn and reap peas
|
| I said you can’t plant corn and reap peas
|
| Got to run and hide, you sinners
|
| 'Cause I and I was born winners
|
| All the wrong you did, you could never succeed
|
| 'Cause I and I you could never mislead
|
| I said you can’t plant corn and reap peas, oh no
|
| You can’t plant corn and reap peas
|
| I said you can’t plant corn and reap peas
|
| That’s why you’ve got to bow down on your knees
|
| Got to run and hide, you sinners |
