The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You may run for a long time
Run on, for a long time
Run on, for a long time
Run on, for a long time
Let me tell you the God's gonna cut you down
Let me tell you the God's gonna cut you down
My God spoke and he spoke so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angel's feet
He put one hand upon my head
Great God almighty let me tell you what he said
Go tell that long tongued liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them the God's gonna cut them down
Tell them the God's gonna strike them down
You may run for a long time
Run on, for a long time
Run on, for a long time
Run on, for a long time
Let me tell you the God's gonna cut you down
You may throw your rock and hide your hand
Working in the dark against your fellow man
As sure as God made the day and the night
What you do in the dark will be brought to the light
You may run and hide, slip and slide
Trying to make time with your neighbour's wife
Brother let me tell you as sure as you're born
You better leave that woman alone
You may run, for a long time
Run on, for a long time
Run on, for a long time
Let me tell you the God's gonna cut you down
Let me tell you the God's gonna cut him down
One of these days, you can mark my word
You think a man is a way at work
And you will knock up on that door
That's all son, you'll knock no more
You may run for a long time
Run on, for a long time
Run on, for a long time
Run on, for a long time
Let me tell you the God's gonna cut you down
You may run for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you the God's gonna cut you down
Let me tell you the God's gonna cut you down
Let me tell you the God's gonna cut you down
