God's Gonna Cut You Down

歌詞

You may run home for a long time Run home for a long time You may run home for a long time Lemme 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 'em God Almighty gonna cut 'em 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 'em God Almighty gonna cut 'em 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 'em God Almighty gonna cut 'em down
