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 sound 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] * 3
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] * 8
