| Lord God Almighty let me tell the news
|
| My head got wet in midnight dew
|
| Great God I been down on my bended knees
|
| Talking to a man from galilee
|
| Michael spoke and he sound 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 lonesome liar
|
| Go tell that midnight rider
|
| Tell the gamblin', ramblin' backslider
|
| Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down
|
| You might run on for a long time
|
| Run on, ducking and dodging
|
| Run on, children, for a long time
|
| Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down
|
| you might throw your rock, hide your head
|
| work in the dark with your fellow men
|
| sure as God made you rich and poor
|
| you’re gonna reap just what you sow
|
| You might run on for a long time
|
| Run on, ducking and dodging
|
| Run on, children, for a long time
|
| Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down
|
| (You might run
|
| What is the real thing
|
| Run
|
| What is the real thing
|
| Come on)
|
| Some people go to church just to sit in the fire
|
| Trying to make a date with a neighbor’s wife
|
| Brother let me tell you just as sure as you’re born
|
| You better leave that woman alone |
