Blind Boys Of Alabama - Run On For A Long Time lyrics

rate me

First up, great God, let me tell you the news

My head got wet with the midnight dew

I've been down on bended knee,

Talkin' to the man from Galilee

Then my God spoke and he sounded so sweet

I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet

Then he put one hand upon my head

Great God almighty let me tell you what he said:

Go tell that long tongue liar

Go tell that midnight rider

Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter

Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down

You may run on for the long time

Run along for the long time

Run along for the long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

You may run on for the long time

Run along for the long time

Run along for a long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand

Work in the dark against your fellow man

But as sure as God made rich and poor

You gonna reap just what you sow

Some people go to church just to signify

Tryin' to get a date with the neighbor's wife

But listen to me brother, sure as you're born,

You better leave that woman alone

Cause one of these days, you mark my word,

You think that brother is goin' to work

You're gonna come up and knock on the door

That's all brother, you'll knock no more

You may run on for the long time

Run along for the long time

Run along for the long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

First up, great God, let me tell you the news

My head got wet with the midnight dew

I've been down on bended knee,

Talkin' to the man from Galilee

God he spoke, he spoke so sweet

I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet

Then he put one hand upon my head

Great God almighty let me tell you what he said:

Go tell that long tongue liar

Go tell that midnight rider

Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter

Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down

You may run on for the long time

Run along for a long time

Run along for a long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

You may run on for the long time

Run along for a long time

Run along for a long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

You may run on for the long time

Run along for a long time

Run along for a long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

You may run on for the long time

Run along for a long time

Run along for a long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

You may run on for the long time

Go tell that long tongue liar

Go tell that midnight rider

Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter

Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down<br />
