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
Go tell that lonesome liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambling, rambling backslider
Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down
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 the rich and poor
You're gonna reap just what you sow
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 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 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
Run
What is the real thing?
Run, run
What is the real thing?
Run
What is the real thing?
What is the real thing?
Some people go to church just to signify
Trying to make a date with the neighbor's wife

Go tell that midnight rider
