Lyrics

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'll cut you down Sooner or later, God'll cut you down Go and tell that long tongue liar, go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, the gambler, the backbiter Tell him that God's gonna cut him down Tell him that God's gonna cut him down My goodness gracious, let me tell you the news My head's been wet by the midnight dews I've been down on bended knee Talkin' to the man from Galilee He spoke to me in a voice so sweet I thought I heard the shuffle of angels feet He called my name and my heart stood still When He said, "Son, go and 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'll cut you down Sooner or later, God'll cut you down Go and tell that long tongue liar, go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, the gambler, the backbiter Tell him that God's gonna cut him down Tell him that God's gonna cut him down Well, you may throw your rock and hide your hand Working 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'll cut you down Sooner or later, God'll cut you down, hah
