Elvis Presley - Run On
(Tradition al - arranged by Elvis Presley)
Well you may run on for a lon g time
Run on for a lon g time,
Run on for a lon g time
Let me tell you God almighty gon na cut you down
Go tell that lon g ton gued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them God almighty gon na cut them down
Stop God almighty let me tell you the news
My heads been wet with the midnight dews
Coming down on my bended knees
Talking to the man from Galilee
My God spoke and he spoke so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels feet
He put on e hand upon my head
Great God almighty let me tell you what he said
Go tell that lon g ton gued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them God almighty gon na cut them down
Run on for a lon g time,
Run on for a lon g time,
Let me tell you God almighty gon na cut you down
You may throw your rock and hide your hand
Working in the dark against your fellow man
As sure as God made the day and the night
What you do in the dark will be brought to the light
You may run and hide, slip and slide
Trying to take the mote from your neighbours eyes
As sure as God made the rich and poor
You gon na reap just what you sow
Run on for a lon g time,
Run on for a lon g time
Let me tell you God almighty gon na cut you down
Go tell that lon g ton gued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them God almighty gon na cut them down
Some people go to church just to sit in the fire
Trying to make a date with the neighbours wife
Brother let me tell you as sure as youre born
You better leave that woman alon e
Because on e of these days mark my word
You think that brother is going to work
And youll sneak up and knock on that door
Thats all brother youll knock no more
Run on for a lon g time,
Run on for a lon g time
Let me tell you God almighty gon na cut you down
Go tell that lon g ton gued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them God almighty gon na cut them down
