[00:14.21] Go tell that long tongued liar
[00:16.87] Go tell that midnight rider

[00:23.59] Tell them god almighty gonna cut them down
[00:25.98] Stop god almighty let me tell you the news
[00:28.40] My head been wet with the midnight dews
[00:30.53] Now I been down on my bended knees
[00:32.98] Talkin' to the man from galilee
[00:35.17] My god spoke spoke so sweet
[00:37.40] I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet
[00:39.88] He put one hand upon my head
[00:41.88] Great god almighty let me tell you what he said
[00:44.32] Go tell that long tongued liar
[00:46.17] Go tell that midnight rider
[00:48.63] Tell the gambler rambler backbiter
[00:51.48] Tell them god almighty gonna cut them down
[00:53.63] You may throw a rock hide your hand
[00:56.14] Working in the dark against your fellow man
[00:57.90] Sure as god made the day and the night
[01:00.19] What you do in the dark will be brought to light
[01:02.41] You may run and hide slip and slide
[01:04.62] Try to take the mote from your neighbor's eyes
[01:06.70] But sure there is the rich and the poor
[01:08.92] You gonna reap my brother just what you sow
[01:11.05] You may run home for a long time

[01:18.64] God almighty gonna cut you down
[01:20.12] Some people go to church just to signify
[01:22.26] Try to make a date with the neighbor's wife
[01:24.32] But neighbor let me tell you
[01:25.58] Just as sure as you're born
[01:26.68] You better leave that woman just leave her alone
[01:28.86] Cause one of these days you just mark my word
[01:30.94] You'll think your brother is gone to work
[01:32.93] You walk up knock on the door
[01:34.89] That's all brother you'll knock no more

[01:39.00] Go tell that midnight rider
[01:41.24] Tell the gambler rambler backbiter
[01:44.06] Tell them god almighty gonna cut them down
