Lyrics

Well you may run on for a long time; Run on for a long time; Run on for a long time;
Let me tell you God Almighty’s gonna cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar;
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, rambler, back biter
Tell 'em God Almighty’s gonna cut ‘em down

Well stop God almighty let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on my bended knees, talkin' to the man from Galilee
My God spoke and He spoke so sweet
I thought I heard a shuffle of angel's feet
He put one hand upon my head
Great God almighty let me tell you what He said

Well you may run on for a long time; Run on for a long time; Run on for a long time; Let me tell you God Almighty’s gonna cut you down

You may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made day and night
What cha do in the dark will be brought to the light
You may run' and hide--slip and slide; Trying to take a mote from your neighbor’s eye
But sure a God made the rich and poor
You gonna reap just a what you sow
