Well, you may 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-tongued liar Go tell that midnight rider Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter Tell 'em God Almighty's gonna cut 'em down Good God Almighty will cut you down Well stop, God Almighty, let me tell you the news My head's been wet with the midnight dew I been down on bended knees Talkin' to the Man from Galilee My God spoke and He spoke so sweet I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet Put one hand upon my head Great God Almighty, let me tell you what He said He said to tell that long-tongued liar Tell that midnight rider The gambler, rambler, back-biter Tell 'em God Almighty's gonna cut 'em down Sooner or later, God'll cut you down 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 Good God Almighty will cut you down You may throw a rock, hide your hand Workin' in the dark 'gainst your fellow man Be sure as God made day and night What you do in the dark will be brought to the light You can run and hide, slip and slide Try to take the mote from your neighbor's eyes Be sure as God made the rich or poor You gonna reap just what you sow 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 My Almighty will cut you down You better tell that long-tongued liar Tell that midnight rider Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter Tell 'em God Almighty's gonna cut 'em down I said God Almighty will cut them down Some people go to church just to signify Or try to make a date with the neighbor's wife But brother, let me tell you sure as you're born You better leave that woman alone One of these days, you mark my words You'll think your brother is gone to work You sneak up and knock on his door Look out, brother, you'll knock no more Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Good God Almighty will cut you down My God Almighty will cut you down Tell that long-tongued liar Tell that midnight rider Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter Tell 'em God Almighty's gonna cut 'em down Tell 'em God Almighty will cut 'em down Good God Almighty will cut 'em down My God Almighty will cut 'em down
