Lyrics
A-one, two, three, four Let me set the mood, set the situation Imagine you're sittin' in the congregation Hey, he's talkin' 'bout Judgment Day If you listen real close, here's what he say You may run on for a long time Run on for a long time You may run on for a long time But let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down Go 'n' tell that long-tongued liar Go 'n' tell that midnight rider Tell the gambler, rambler, backbiter Tell him God Almighty gonna cut him down Great God Almighty, let me tell you news Yes, my head's been wet with the midnight dews I been down on my bended knees Talkin' to the man from Galilee My God spoke, He spoke so sweet I thought I heard the shufflin' of angels' feet He, put one hand on my head Great God Almighty let me tell you what He said You may run on for a long time Run on for a long time You may run on for a long time Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down You may throw a rock, hide your hand Workin' in the dark against your fellow man But sure as God made the day and night What you do in the dark will be brought to light You may slip and slide, slip and slide Try to take the mote from your neighbor's eye But sure as God made the rich and poor What you reap, my brother, is what you sow You may run on for a long time Run on for a long time You run on for a long time But let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down Some people go to church just to signify They try to make a date with their neighbor's wife But neighbor, let me tell you, just as sure as your born You better leave that woman, better leave her alone One of these days just mark my words You'll think that your brother's gone off to work Well, now, you' walk up and knock on the door That's all, brother, there ain't no more You may run on for a long time Run on for a long time You're gonna run on for a long time But let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down Go 'n' tell that long-tongued liar Go 'n' tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, gambler, backbiter Tell him God Almighty gonna cut him down Alright
