You may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down
My god spoke he spoke so sweet,
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels feet,
He put one hand upon my head
Great god almighty let me tell you what he said
You may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made the day or night
What you do in the dark will be brought to the light
You may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Let me tell you that god’s gonna cut you down
