Lyrics
Tell em that god s gonna cut em down, i ve been down on bended knee talkin to the man from galilee, he called my name and my heart stood still
you can run on for a long time
Tell em that god s gonna cut you down, go and tell that midnight rider
Go tell that long tongue liar, well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
he called my name and my heart stood still
tell the rambler
the backbiter
Sooner or later god ll cut you down, you can run on for a long time, but as sure as god made black and white
tell the rambler
Run on for a long time, tell em that god s gonna cut em down
I thought i heard the shuffle of the angel s feet, you can run on for a long time
What s down in the dark will be brought to the light, john go do my will, john go do my will
Run on for a long time, tell the rambler
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet, sooner or later god ll cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar, tell em that god s gonna cut em down, my head s been wet with the midnight dew
Go and tell that midnight rider, sooner or later god ll cut you down Johnny, tell em that god s gonna cut you down
sooner or later god ll cut you down
Tell em that god s gonna cut em down, run on for a long time, you can run on for a long time
He called my name and my heart stood still, run on for a long time
Tell the rambler, john go do my will
You can run on for a long time, tell em that god s gonna cut em down
he spoke to me in the voice so sweet
Run on for a long time, he called my name and my heart stood still
