Lord God Almighty let me tell the news |
|
My head got wet in midnight dew |
|
Great God I been down on my bended knees |
|
Talking to a man from Galilee |
|
Michael spoke and he sound 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 lonesome liar |
|
Go tell that midnight rider |
|
Tell the gamblin', ramblin' backslider |
|
Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down" |
|
You might run on for a long time |
|
Run on, ducking and dodging |
|
Run on, children, for a long time |
|
Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down |
|
You might throw your rock, hide your head |
|
Work in the dark with your fellow men |
|
Sure as God made you rich and poor |
|
You're gonna reap just what you sow |
|
You might run on for a long time |
|
Run on, ducking and dodging |
|
Run on, children, for a long time |
|
Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down |
|
You might run on for a long time |
|
Run on, ducking and dodging |
|
Run on, children, for a long time |
|
Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down |
|
Some people go to church just to signify |
|
Trying to make a date with the neighbor's wife |
|
Brother let me tell you just as sure as you're born |
|
You better leave that woman alone |
|
Go tell that lonesome liar |
|
Go tell that midnight rider |
|
Tell the gamblin', ramblin' backslider |
|
Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down |
|
You might run on for a long time |
|
Run on, ducking and dodging |
|
Run on, children, for a long time |
|
Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down |
