F# Lord God Almighty let me tell the news E My head got wet in midnight dew F# Great God I been down on my bended knees E 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 A "Go tell that lonesome liar Go tell that midnight rider B Tell the gamblin', ramblin' backslider Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down" Chorus: F# You might run on for a long time E Run on, ducking and dodging F# Run on, children, for a long time E Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down You might throw your rock, hide your hand Work in the dark with your fellow men Sure as God made the rich and poor You're gonna reap just what you sow Chorus - x2 Some people go to church just to signify Trying to make a date with the neighbor's wife Brothers, let me tell you just as sure as you're born You better leave that woman alone To go tell that lonesome liar Go tell that midnight rider Tell the gambling, rambling backslider Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down Chorus - x6 You might run on for a long time Run on, ducking and dodging.
