[bridge:] go tell that lonesome liar go tell that midnight rider [???] tell the gamblin', ramblin' backslider tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down
[chorus:] you might run on for a long time run on, ducking and dodging run on, children [?], for a long time let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down
you might throw your rock [?], hide your head work in the dark with your fellow men sure as God made you rich and poor you're gonna reap just what you sow
