Run On For A Long Time
Blind Boys of Alabama

First up, great God, let me tell you the news 
nMy head got wet with the midnight dew 
nI've been down on bended knee,nTalkin' to the man from Galilee 
nThen my God spoke and he sounded so sweet 
nI thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet nThen he put one hand upon my head
nGreat God almighty let me tell you what he said:

nnGo tell that long tongue liar 
nGo tell that midnight rider 
nTell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter nTell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em downnnYou may run on for the long time 
nRun along for the long timenRun along for the long timenLet me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down nnYou may run on for the long timenRun along for the long timenRun along for a long timenLet me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down 

nnWell you may throw your rock and hide your hand 
nWork in the dark against your fellow man 
nBut as sure as God made rich and poor
nYou gonna reap just what you sow 

nSome people go to church just to signifynTryin' to get a date with the neighbor's wifenBut listen to me brother, sure as you're born,nYou better leave that woman alonenCause one of these days, you mark my word,nYou think that brother is goin' to worknYou're gonna come up and knock on the doornThat's all brother, you'll knock no morennYou may run on for the long timenRun along for the long timenRun along for the long timenLet me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down nnFirst up, great God, let me tell you the news 
nMy head got wet with the midnight dewnI've been down on bended knee,nTalkin' to the man from GalileenGod he spoke, he spoke so sweetnI thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feetnThen he put one hand upon my head
nGreat God almighty let me tell you what he said:

nnGo tell that long tongue liarnGo tell that midnight ridernTell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter nTell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em downnnYou may run on for the long timenRun along for a long timenRun along for a long timenLet me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down nnYou may run on for the long timenRun along for a long timenRun along for a long timenLet me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you downnnYou may run on for the long timenRun along for a long timenRun along for a long timenLet me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you downnnYou may run on for the long timenRun along for a long timenRun along for a long timenLet me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you downnnYou may run on for the long time nnGo tell that long tongue liarnGo tell that midnight ridernTell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter nTell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down
