[F]
Well, you may run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time,
let me tell you, God Almighty, it's gonna cut you down.
Go tell that long-time writer, go tell that midnight writer,
come to Galileo, run my back, body, tell them, God Almighty, it's gonna cut them down.
Stop, God Almighty, let [Bb] me tell you the [F] news, my hair's been wet with the midnight dews,
I've been down on my bending knees, talking to the man from Galilee,
my God spoke and he spoke so [F] sweet, I thought I heard a shuffle of angel's feet,
he put one hand upon my head.
God [C] Almighty, let me tell you what he [F] said,
Go tell that long-time writer, go tell that midnight writer,
come to Galileo, run my back, body, tell them, God [Cm] Almighty, [F] it's gonna cut them down.
You may run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time,
let me tell you, God Almighty, it's gonna cut you down.
You may throw your rock and hide [Bb] your hand, [F] working in the dark against your fellow man,
but sure as God made the day and the night, what you do in the dark will be brought to the light.
You may run and hide, slip and [Gm] slide, [F] trying to take them out from your neighbor's eye,
but sure as God made the rich and poor, you're gonna reap what you sow.
You may run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time,
let me tell you, God Almighty, it's gonna cut you down.
Go tell that long-time writer, go tell that midnight writer,
come to Galileo, run my back, body, tell them, God Almighty, it's gonna cut them down.
Some people go to church just to signify, trying to make a deal with their neighbor's wife,
but brother, let me tell you, sure as you're born, you better leave that old woman alone,
because one of these days, mark my word, you think that brother is going to work,
you'll sneak up and knock on the door, that's all, brother, you'll knock no more.
You may run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time,
let me tell you, God Almighty, it's gonna cut you down.
Go tell that long-time writer, go tell that midnight writer,
come to Galileo, run my back, body, tell them, God Almighty, it's gonna cut them down.
