Run On - Blues Saraceno

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
