Well you may run on for a long time

Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them God Almighty gonna cut them downStop 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 GalileeMy God spoke and he spoke so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angel's feet
He put one hand upon my head

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 lightYou 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 sowYou may run on for a long time

Trying to make a date with the neighbour's wife
Brother let me tell you as sure as you're born

And you'll sneak up and knock on that door
