God Almighty's Gonna Cut You Down Songtext
von The Golden Gate Quartet

You may run home for a long time
Run home for a long time
Run home for a long time
Let me tell you, God Almighty gonna cut you down

You may run home for a long time
You may run home for a long time
Run home for a long time
Let me tell you, God Almighty′s gonna cut you down

Go tell that long tongued liar (well, well)
Go tell that midnight rider (well, well)
Tell the gambler, the rambler, backbiter
Tell 'em God Almighty′s gonna cut 'em down

Stop, God Almighty, let me tell you the news
My head been wet with the midnight dews
Now I been down on my bended knees
Talkin' to the Man from Galilee


My God spoken, he spokes 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 long tongued liar (well, well)
Go tell that midnight rider (well, well)
Tell the gambler, the rambler, backbiter
Tell ′em God Almighty gonna cut 'em down

You may run home for a long time
You may run home for a long time
Run home for a long time
Let me tell you, God Almighty′s gonna cut you down

You may throw your rocks and hide your hand
Working in the dark against your fellow man
But you sure as God made the day and the night
What you do in the dark will be brought to the light
You can run and hide, slip and slide
You talk about the mote in your neighbor's eyes
But you sure as God made rich and the poor
You going to reap just what you sow


You can run home for a long time
Run home for a long time
Run home for a long time
Let me tell you, God Almighty′s gonna cut you down

Go tell that long tongued liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, the rambler, backbiter
Tell 'em God Almighty gonna cut ′em down

Some brother go to church just to signify
You try to make a date with the neighbor's wife
But brother let me tell you just as sure as you're born
You better leave that woman alone

Because one of these days you mark my word
You′ll think brother has gone to work
You′re going to creep up and knock on his door
That's all brother, you′ll knock no more

You can run home for a long time
You may run home for a long time
Run home for a long time
Let me tell you, God Almighty's gonna cut you down

Go tell that long tongued liar (well, well)
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, the rambler, backbiter
Tell ′em God Almighty's gonna cut ′em down
