Song Lyrics

God`s Gonna Cut You Down

(Traditional)

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 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 `em 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, "John go do My will!"

Go 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 `em down

Tell `em that God`s gonna cut `em 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

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand

Workin` in the dark against your fellow man

But as sure as God made black and white

What`s done in the dark will be brought to the light

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 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 you down

Tell `em that God`s gonna cut you down

Tell `em that God`s gonna cut you down
