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 sounded 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 [bridge:] Go tell that lonesome liar Go tell that midnight rider [?? ?] Tell the gamblin', ramblin' backslider Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down [chorus:] 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 [?], hide your head Work in the dark with your fellow men Sure as God made you rich and poor You're gonna reap just what you sow [chorus] x3 Some people go to church just to signify Trying to make a date with a neighbor's wife Brother let me tell you just as sure as you're born You better leave that woman alone [bridge] [chorus] x8
