	First up, great God, let me tell you the news
	My head got wet with the midnight dew
	I've been down on bended knee,
	Talkin' to the man from Galilee
	Then my God spoke and he sounded so sweet
	I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
	Then he put one hand upon my head
	Great God almighty let me tell you what he said:
	Go tell that long tongue liar
	Go tell that midnight rider
	Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter
	Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down
	You may run on for the long time
	Run along for the long time
	Run along for the long time
	Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down
	You may run on for the long time
	Run along for the long time
	Run along for a long time
	Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down
	Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
	Work in the dark against your fellow man
	But as sure as God made rich and poor
	You gonna reap just what you sow
	Some people go to church just to signify
	Tryin' to get a date with the neighbor's wife
	But listen to me brother, sure as you're born,
	You better leave that woman alone
	Cause one of these days, you mark my word,
	You think that brother is goin' to work
	You're gonna come up and knock on the door
	That's all brother, you'll knock no more
	You may run on for the long time
	Run along for the long time
	Run along for the long time
	Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down
	First up, great God, let me tell you the news
	My head got wet with the midnight dew
	I've been down on bended knee,
	Talkin' to the man from Galilee
	God he spoke, he spoke so sweet
	I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
	Then he put one hand upon my head
	Great God almighty let me tell you what he said:
	Go tell that long tongue liar
	Go tell that midnight rider
	Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter
	Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down
	You may run on for the long time
	Run along for a long time

	You may run on for the long time
	Run along for a long time
	Run along for a long time
