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
Go and tell that long-tongue 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
Well, my goodness gracious, let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
And I've been down on a bended knee
Talkin' to the man from Galilee
And he spoke to me in a voice so sweet
And I thought I heard the shuffle of an angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John, go do my will"
So 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
Well, you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against a fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's done in the dark'll be brought to the light
So 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
Tell that long-tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back-biter
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down
