Lyrics

[Chorus]

You can 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

[Chorus]

Go tell that long tongued liar

Go and 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

[Verse 1]

Well, my goodness gracious, let me tell you the news

My head's been whipped with the midnight dew

I been down on bended knee

Talking to the man from Galilee

[Verse 2]

He spoke to me in the voice so sweet

I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet

He called my name and my heart stood still

When he said, John, go do my will

[Chorus]

Go tell that long tongued liar

Go and 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

[Chorus]

You can 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

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

You can 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

[Chorus]

Go tell that long tongued liar

Go and tell that midnight rider

Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
