God's Gonna Cut You Down chords by The Golden Gate Quartet
Verse 1
E
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's
gonna cut you down
Go tell that long gone liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, rambler, backbiter
Tell them God Almighty's
gonna cut them down
Well, stop, God Almighty,
let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with
the midnight dew
I've been down on my bended knees
Talking to the man from Galilee
My God spoke, and he spoke so sweet
I thought I heard a shuffle of angels' feet
He put one hand upon my head
With God Almighty, let me tell you why
He said, go tell that long -tongued liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the camel, the rammel,
the black fighter
Tell them God Almighty's
gonna cut them down
You'll be run on for a long time,
run on for a long time,
run on for a long time
Let me tell you, God Almighty's
gonna cut you down
You may throw your rock and
hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against
your fellow man
But sure as God made day and night
What you do in the dark
will be brought to the light
You may run and hide, slip and slide
Tryin' to take the moat
from your neighbor's eye
But sure as God made rich and poor
You're gonna reap just what you sow
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's
gonna cut you down
Won't tell that long -tongued liar
Won't tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, rambler, blackbiter
Tell them God Almighty's
gonna cut them down
Some people go to church
just to signify
Tryin' to make a date
with the neighbor's wife
But, brother, let me tell you,
sure as you're born
You better leave that 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
Well, run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you,
God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Go tell that long -tongued liar
Well, go tell that midnight rider,
Well, tell the gambler, rambler, bag -biter,
Tell them God Almighty's
gonna cut them down.
