The Godfather of Love - Reaper Blues Lyrics

They call me the reaper baby
I make them reap just what they sew
They call me the reaper baby
I make them reap just what them sew
It ain't easy being the reaper
And knowing all the things I know

I look into the darkness
That's in the hearts of men
I know all their dirty secrets
And everything they did
I go forth into their darkness
And work to set things right
They try to run away
But never escape
As I banish them into the night
They call me the reaper baby
I make them reap just what they sew
They call me the reaper baby
I make them reap just what them sew
It ain't easy being the reaper
And knowing all the things I know

I remember Miss Sally
She married a wealthy man
Never wanted to help nobody
She treated folks like trash
That was many years ago
Sally got feeble and she's old
Her husband left
She's had no friends
And died broke and alone
They call me the reaper baby
I make them reap just what they sew
They call me the reaper baby
I make them reap just what them sew
It ain't easy being the reaper
Or knowing all the things I know

Yeah, I'm The Reaper baby!
And I'm gonna be coming for you
Better get ready!
Let me tell you about Mr. Jimmy
He traveled all around
Had him a different woman
In every part of town
One thing about Mr. Jimmy
He had him a jealous wife
His cheating heart
Was blown apart
When her shotgun took his life
They call me the reaper baby
I make them reap just what they sew

It ain't easy being the reaper
And knowing all the things I know

They call me the reaper baby
I make them reap just what they sew
They call me the reaper baby
I make them reap just what them sew
It ain't easy being the reaper
And knowing all the things I know
