The Songs He Sang

Sowing On The Mountain: Lyrics

As performed by Cisco Houston

Traditional

Appears on:
Sowing on the mountain, 
Reaping in the valley;
Sowing on the mountain, 
Reaping in the valley;
Sowing on the mountain, 
Reaping in the valley,
You're gonna reap just what you sow.

God give Noah the rainbow sign (ech)
God give Noah that rainbow sign
God give Noah the rainbow sign
Said it won't be water, but fire next time

Won't be water, but fire next time, boys
Won't be water, but fire next time, boys
Won't be water, but fire next time
Well, a-God give Noah that rainbow sign

Sowing on the mountain
And reaping in the valley
Sowing on the mountain
And a-reaping in the valley
Sowing on the mountain
Reaping in the valley
You're gonna reap just what you sow

Of note:

More ol-timey Woody with Cisco struggling to follow along. But his tenor fleshes the sound out nicely.
