Tom Jones - Run On lyrics

Your rating:

Well, you may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongued liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Good God Almighty will cut you down

Well, stop God Almighty let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've down on my bended knees
Talking to the man from Galilee

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

He said, tell that long tongued liar
Tell that midnight rider
The gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Well, you may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Good God Almighty will cut you down

You may throw a rock, hide your hand
Working in the dark 'gainst your fellow man
Be sure as God made day and night
What you do in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run and hide, slip and slide
Try to take the mote from your neighbour's eyes
Be sure as God made the rich or poor
You gonna reap just what you sow

Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down
My God Almighty will cut you down

You better tell that long tongued liar
Tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them God Almighty's gonna cut them down
I said, God Amighty will cut them down

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

One of these days, you mark my words
You'll think your brother is gone to work
You sneak up and knock on his door
Look out, brother, you'll knock no more

Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Good God Almighty will cut you down
My God Almighty will cut you down

Tell that long tongued liar
Tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Tell them God Almighty will cut them down
Good God Almighty will cut them down
My God Almighty will cut them down
