You may run home for a long time
Run home for a long time
You may run home for a long time
Let me tell you
God almighty gonna cut you down
Go tell that long tongued liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler rambler backbiter
Tell them god almighty gonna cut them down
Stop god almighty let me tell you the news
My head been wet with the midnight dews
Now I been down on my bended knees
Talkin' to the man from galilee
My god spoke spoke so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet
He put one hand upon my head
Great god almighty let me tell you what he said
Go tell that long tongued liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler rambler backbiter
Tell them god almighty gonna cut them down
You may throw a rock hide your hand
Working in the dark against your fellow man
Sure as god made the day and the night
What you do in the dark will be brought to light
You may run and hide slip and slide
Try to take the mote from your neighbor's eyes
But sure there is the rich and the poor
You gonna reap my brother just what you sow
You may run home for a long time
Run home for a long time
You may run home for a long time
Let me tell you
God almighty gonna cut you down
Some people go to church just to signify
Try to make a date with the neighbor's wife
But neighbor let me tell you
Just as sure as you're born
You better leave that woman just leave her alone
Cause one of these days you just mark my word
You'll think your brother is gone to work
You walk up knock on the door
That's all brother you'll knock no more
Go tell that long tongued liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler rambler backbiter
Tell them god almighty gonna cut them down
