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] 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 |
