alvin ailey - you may run on lyrics

[bridge]
you may run on for a long time
run on for a long time
you may run on for a long time
let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down

[chorus]
go tell that long tongue liar
go and tell that midnight rider
tell the gambler, the rambler, back biter
tell ’em god almighty gonna cut ’em down

[verse 1]
my head got wet with the midnight dew
the morning star was a witness too
i never shall forget that day
jesus washed my sins away

one day, one day i was walking along
i heard a voice, but saw no+one
voice i heard it sound so sweet
made his love run down to my feet

[chorus]
go tell that long tongue liar
go and tell that midnight ridеr
tell the gambler, thе rambler, back biter
tell ’em god almighty gonna cut ’em down
[verse 2]
you read about samson from his verse
strongest man, who ever lived on earth
he knew way back in ancient times
delilah went to heaven on the end of time

delilah fooled samson don’t y’know
the holy bible is tellin’ me so
she came to samson on her knees
said, “tell me where your strength lies, if you please”
delilah, she looked so fair
samson says “the strength lies in my hair”
she shaved his hair, just as clean as your hand
samson got as weak as any man

[chorus]
go tell that long tongue liar
go and tell that midnight rider
tell the gambler, the rambler, back biter
tell ’em god almighty gonna cut ’em down

[verse 3]
if adam then was made
???
god saw adam in a lonely state
burden was sweet and made him a mate
now, adam is a model of the human race
wrote gods law, and tried to hide his face
the woman was eve and my luck came down
???
adam, adam, where are you now
you must earn bread by the sweat of your brow
[chorus]
go tell that long tongue liar
go and tell that midnight rider
tell the rambler, gambler, back biter
tell ’em god almighty gonna cut ’em down

[verse 4]
some people go to church just to sit about
tryin’ make a date with the neighbours wife
but neighbour let me tell you just to show you ??
better leave that woman, better leave her alone
one of these days just mark my words
pray that brother has gone to work
???

[chorus]
go tell that long tongue liar
go and tell that midnight rider
tell the rambler, gambler, back biter
tell ’em god almighty gonna cut ’em down
