may run home for a long time,
run home for a long time, baby,
Almighty's gonna cut you down
Go tell that long -tongued liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, rambler, backbiter
My head's been wet from the midnight dews
was cold but bent down on my bended knees
go tell that midnight rider.
Tell the gambler, rambler, backbiter,
work in the dark against your fellow man,
You may run and hide slip and slide
from your neighbor's side
but sure as there is the rich
you're gonna reap my brother
you may go home for a long time
you let run on for a long time
let me tell you god almighty's
they're trying to make a date
with the neighbor's wife,
just as sure as your bone,
you better leave that woman,
because one of these days,
that the man is gone to work,
That's all, brother, you not know
Go tell that long -term liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell him God Almighty's gonna
tell, go tell that raptor,
go tell, go tell that pack
Almighty's gonna cut you down
Oh Lord, my Lord is gonna cut you down
Oh Lord, my Lord is gonna cut you down
Oh Lord, my Lord is gonna cut you down
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
