Elvis Presley - Run On lyrics
rate me
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 gonna cut you down Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter Tell them God almighty gonna cut them down Stop God almighty let me tell you the news My head's been wet with the midnight dews Coming 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 Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter Tell them God almighty gonna cut them down Run on for a long time, Run on for a long time, Let me tell you God almighty 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 take the mote from your neighbour's eyes As sure as God made the rich and poor You gonna reap just what you sow Run on for a long time, Run on for a long time Let me tell you God almighty gonna cut you down Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter Tell them God almighty gonna cut them down Some people go to church just to sit in the fire Trying to make a date with the neighbour's wife Brother let me tell you as sure as you're born You better leave that woman alone Because one of these days mark my word You think that brother is going to work And you'll sneak up and knock on that door That's all brother you'll knock no more Run on for a long time, Run on for a long time Let me tell you God almighty gonna cut you down Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter Tell them God almighty gonna cut them down
