You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time

Sooner, or later, God'll cut you down

Go and tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambiler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Primeira Parte
Well my goodness gracious, let me tell you the news
My heads been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee
Talkin to the man from Galiee
He spoke to me in a voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When He said "John go do my will"

You may throw your rock, 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
