Well you may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you God A'mighty's gonna cut you downGo tell that long tongued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well
Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter
Tell them God A'mighty's gonna cut 'em downStop God Almighty let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dews
I've been down on my bended knees
Talking to the man from GalileeMy God spoke and he spoke so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angel's feet
He put one hand upon my head
Great God A'mighty let me tell you what He saidGo tell that long tongued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well
Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter

Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you God A'mighty's gonna cut you downYou may throw your rock and hide your hand
Working in the dark 'gainst your fellow man
As sure as God made the day and the night
What you do in the dark will be brought to the lightYou may run and hide, slip and slide
Trying to take the mote from your neighbour's eyes
As sure as God made the rich and poor
You're gonna reap just what you sowYou may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time

Trying to make a date with the neighbor's wife
Brother let me tell you as sure as you're born
You better leave that woman aloneBecause one of these days mark my word
You'll think that brother is going to work
And you'll sneak up and knock on the door
That's all brother you'll knock no moreRun on for a long time
