[Chorus 1] 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 2] Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter Tell them that God's gonna cut 'em down Tell them that God's gonna cut 'em down [Verse 1] Well my goodness gracious, let me tell you the news My head's been wet with the midnight dew I've been down on bended knee, talkin' to the man from Galilee He spoke to me in the voice so sweet I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet He called my name and my heart stood still When he said, "John, go do My will!" [Chorus 2] Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter Tell them that God's gonna cut 'em down Tell them that God's gonna cut 'em down [Chorus 1] 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 2] Well, you may throw your rock and hide your hand Workin' 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 1] 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 2] Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter Tell them that God's gonna cut 'em down Tell them that God's gonna cut 'em down
