94. Be Careful What You Sow, Boys!

1 Be careful what you sow, boys,
For seed will surely grow, boys!
The dew will fall,
The rain will splash,
The clouds grow dark,
The sunshine flash;
And he who sows good seed today,
Shall reap good seed tomorrow,
And he who sows good seed today,
Shall reap good seed tomorrow.

Refrain:
Be careful what you sow, boys!
For seed will surely grow, boys!
And he who sows good seed today,
Shall reap with joy tomorrow.

2 Be careful what you sow, boys,
For seed will surely grow, boys!
Where it may fall,
You cannot know,
In sun or shade
‘Twill surely grow;
And he who sows good seed today,
Shall reap good seed tomorrow,
And he who sows good seed today,
Shall reap good seed tomorrow. [Refrain]

3 Be careful what you sow, boys,
The weed you plant will grow, boys!
The scattered seed
From tho’tless hand,
Must gathered be,
By God’s command;
And he who sows wild oats today,
Must reap wild oats tomorrow,
And he who sows wild oats today,
Must reap wild oats tomorrow. [Refrain]

4 Then good seed let us sow, boys,
And not the briars and weeds, boys!
Then harvest time
Its joys shall bring,
And when we reap,
Our hearts shall sing;
And he who sows good seed today,
Shall reap good seed tomorrow,
And he who sows good seed today,
Shall reap good seed tomorrow. [Refrain]
