You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
You can run on for a long time
Sooner or later god will cut you down
Sooner or later god will cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler
the gambler
the back-biter
Tell'em thet God's gonna cut'em down
Tell'em thet God's gonna cut'em down
My goodness gracious
let me tell you the news
My head‘s been wet by the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee
Talkin' to the man from Galillee
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 "son,go an'do my will"
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
You can run on for a long time
Sooner or later god will cut you down
Sooner or later god will cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar,
Go 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
hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light.
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
You can run on for a long time
Sooner or later god will cut you down
Sooner or later god will cut you down
