Run On for a Long Time - Golden Gate Quartet

You might run on for a long time

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you God almighty

gonna cut you down x2

Lord God almighty let me tell the news

My head got wet in midnight dew

Great God I’ve been down on my

bended knees

Talking to a man from Galilee

Michael spoke and he sounded 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 lonesome liar

Go tell that midnight rider

Tell the gamblin', ramblin'

backslider

Tell them God almighty gonna cut

'em down

You might run on for a long time

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you God almighty

gonna cut you down x2

You might throw your rock,

hide your hand

Work in the dark with your fellow

men

Sure as God made the day and dawn

Dawn from the light run and hide

just slip and slide

Trying to take the mote from your

neighbour’s eyes

As sure as God made you rich and poor

You gonna reap just what you sow

You might run on for a long time

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you God almighty

gonna cut you down x2

Some people go to church just to sit in the fire

Trying to make a date with the neighbor’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

You’ll go up and you’ll knock on his door

That’s all brother you’ll knock no more

You might run on for a long time

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you God almighty

gonna cut you down x2
