You can run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Sooner, or later, God ll cut you down.
Sooner, or later, God ll cut you down.
Go and tell that long tongue liar,
Go and tell that midnight rider,
Tell the rambiler, the gambler, the back biter,
Tell em that God s gonna cut em down.
Tell em that God s gonna cut em down.
Well my goodness gracious,
let me tell you the news.
my heads been wet with the midnight dew.
I ve been down on bended knee,
talkin to the man from Galiee.
He spoke to me in a voice so sweet,
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels feet.
He called my name and my heart stood still,
N.C
When He said "John go do my will"
Go and tell that long tongue liar,
Go and tell that midnight rider,
Tell the rambiler, the gambler, the back biter,
Tell em that God s gonna cut em down.
Tell em that God s gonna cut em down.
You can run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Sooner, or later, God ll cut you down.
Sooner, or later, God ll cut you down.
You can throw your rock, hide your hand,
Workin in the dark against your fellow man.
But as sure as God made black and white,
What s done in the dark,
Will be brought to the light.
You can run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Sooner, or later, God ll cut you down.
Sooner, or later, God ll cut you down.
Go and tell that long tongue liar,
Go and tell that midnight rider,
Tell the rambiler, the gambler, the back biter,
Tell em that God s gonna cut em down.
Tell em that God s gonna cut em down.
