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 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
Well my goodness gracious
let me tell you the news
My head's been wet
with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee
talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice
so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle
of the angel's feet
He called my name
and my heart stood still
When he said
John go do My will
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 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
Well you may throw your rock
and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark
against your fellow man
But as sure as
God made black and white
What's down 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 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 you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna
cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna
cut you down
