"God's Gonna Cut You Down" lyrics

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
But sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

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 them 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
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, "Girl, go and do my will!"

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 them down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

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

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 ya down
Sooner or later God'll cut ya down

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
I said 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

Run on
Run on
Run on
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
