Well you may run on for a long timeRun on for a long time,Run on for a long timeLet me tell you God almighty gonna cut you downGo tell that long tongued liar, oh well wellGo tell that midnight rider, oh well wellTell the gambler, rambler, back-biterTell them God almighty gonna cut them downStop God almighty let me tell you the newsMy head's been wet with the midnight dewsComing down on my bended kneesTalking to the man from GalileeMy God spoke and he spoke so sweetI thought I heard the shuffle of angel's feetHe put one hand upon my headGreat God almighty let me tell you what he saidGo tell that long tongued liar, oh well wellGo tell that midnight rider, oh well wellTell the gambler, rambler, back-biterTell them God almighty gonna cut them downRun on for a long time,Run on for a long time,Let me tell you God almighty gonna cut you downYou may throw your rock and hide your handWorking in the dark against your fellow manAs sure as God made the day and the nightWhat you do in the dark will be brought to the lightYou may run and hide, slip and slideTrying to take the mote from your neighbour's eyesAs sure as God made the rich and poorYou gonna reap just what you sowRun on for a long time,Run on for a long timeLet me tell you God almighty gonna cut you downGo tell that long tongued liar, oh well wellGo tell that midnight rider, oh well wellTell the gambler, rambler, back-biterTell them God almighty gonna cut them downSome people go to church just to sit in the fireTrying to make a date with the neighbour's wifeBrother let me tell you as sure as you're bornYou better leave that woman aloneBecause one of these days mark my wordYou think that brother is going to workAnd you'll sneak up and knock on that doorThat's all brother you'll knock no moreRun on for a long time,Run on for a long timeLet me tell you God almighty gonna cut you downGo tell that long tongued liar, oh well wellGo tell that midnight rider, oh well wellTell the gambler, rambler, back-biterTell them God almighty gonna cut them down
