Run on for a Long Time

First up, great God, let me tell you the news

My head got wet in the midnight dew

I've been down on bended knees

Talkin' to the man from Galilee

Then my God spoke and he sounded so sweet

I thought I heard the shuffle of a angel's feet

Then he put one hand upon my head

Great God almighty let me tell you what he said

(Go tell that long tongue liar)

(Go tell that midnight rider)

(Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter)

(Tell them God almighty gonna cut 'em down)

You may run on for a long time

Run along for a long time

Run along for a long time

Let me tell you God almighty gonna cut you down

You may run on for a long time

(Run along for a long time)

(Run along for a long time)

(Let me tell you God almighty gonna cut you down)

You may throw your rock and hide your hand

Work in the dark against your fellow man

But as sure as God made rich and poor

You gonna reap just what you sow

Some people go to church just to signify

Tryin' to get a date with the neighbour's wife

But listen to me brothers, sure as you're born

You better leave that woman alone

Beause one of these days, you mark my word

You think that brother is goin' to work

You're gonna come up and knock on the door

That's all brother, you'll knock no more

You may run on for a long time

(Run along for a long time)

(Run along for a long time)

(Let me tell you God almighty gonna cut you down)
