You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
You can run on for a long time
'Til your God Almighty gonna cut you down
Go tell that lonesome liar
Tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell your God Almighty gonna cut you down
Stop God Almighty, let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on my bended knee
I've been talking to the man from Galilee
I've heard him speak in a voice so sweet
It sounded like the shuffle of angel's feet
He put one hand on top of my head
Great God Almighty let me tell you what he said
Go tell that lonesome liar
Tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell your God Almighty gonna cut you down
ย
You may throw a rock and hide your hand
Working in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made the day and the night
What is done in the dark will be brought to the light
Run and hide, slip and slide
Try to take a mote from your neighbor's side
Well brother let me tell you, as sure as you're born
You're gonna reap just what you sow
You better run on for a long time
Run on, ducking and dodging
Run on for a long time
'Til your God Almighty gonna cut you down
Go tell that lonesome liar
Tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell your God Almighty gonna cut you down
ย
Now some people go to church just to signify
And try to make a date with the neighbor's wife
Well brother let me tell you, as sure as you're born
You better leave that woman alone
One of these days you might, my word
Think that brother he had gone to work
You see cup knock on that door
That's how brother you will knock no more
You better run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
You better run on for a long time
'Til your God Almighty gonna cut you down
Go tell that lonesome liar
Tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell your God Almighty gonna cut you down
