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.
