God's Gonna Cut You Down
You may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
You may run on for a long time
I tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Go tell that long-tongue liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back-biter
Tell them God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Great God Almighty, let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dews
And I've been down on my bended knees
Talking to the man from Galilee
My God spoke, He spoke so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet
He put one hand upon my head
Great God Almighty, let me tell you what He said
You may run on for a long time
Great God Almighty's gonna cut you down
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
You can run on for a long time
But I tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Good God Almighty's gonna cut you down
You may throw the rock and hide your hand
Working in the dark against your fellow man
But true as God has made the day and the night
What you do in the dark will be brought to the light
You may run and hide, and slide and slide
Trying to take the mold from your neighbor's eyes
But true as God has made the Virgin and the Pope
What you reap, my brother, is what you sow
You may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
You may run on for a long time
But I tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Go tell that long-tongue liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back-biter
Tell them God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Good God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Run on for a long time
You may run on for a long time
I tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Go tell that long-tongue liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back-biter
Tell them God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Great God Almighty, let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dews
And I've been down on my bended knees
Talking to the man from Galilee
My God spoke, He spoke so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet
He put one hand upon my head
Great God Almighty, let me tell you what He said
You may run on for a long time
Great God Almighty's gonna cut you down
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
You can run on for a long time
But I tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Good God Almighty's gonna cut you down
You may throw the rock and hide your hand
Working in the dark against your fellow man
But true as God has made the day and the night
What you do in the dark will be brought to the light
You may run and hide, and slide and slide
Trying to take the mold from your neighbor's eyes
But true as God has made the Virgin and the Pope
What you reap, my brother, is what you sow
You may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
You may run on for a long time
But I tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Go tell that long-tongue liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back-biter
Tell them God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Good God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut them down
