go if you will
Gone gone gone gone
Gone gone gone gone
Gone gone gone gone
Gone gone gone gone
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 you 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 and hide your head
Working in the dark against your fellow men
Sure as God made the day and night
What you do in the dark will be brought to the light
You may run and hide, slip and slide
Trying to steal the mote from your neighbour's eyes
But let me tell you, sure as you're born
You better leave that woman alone
"Go tell that lonesome liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler rambler back biter
Tell them God Almighty gonna cut you 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
Some people go to church just to sit in the back
Trying to get a date with the neighbor's wife
Brother let me tell you just as sure as you're born
You better leave that woman alone
Go tell that lonesome liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, rambler, backbiter
Tell them God Almighty gonna cut you 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 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
