Текст песни
You can run home for a long time, run home
For a long time, run home for a long time
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down
Go and tell that long-tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the ramblers, the gamblers, the backbiters
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Well, my goodness gracious, let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
And I've been down on bended knee
Talking to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in a voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John, go and do my will
" Go and tell that long-tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the ramblers, the gamblers, the backbiters
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
You can run home for a long time, run home
For a long time, run home for a long time
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down
Well, you may throw your rock
You may hide your hand
Working in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light
You can run home for a long time, run home
For a long time, run home for a long time
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down
Go and tell that long-tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the ramblers, the gamblers, the backbiters
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
