Sweet Talking Liar

Lord God Almighty let me tell the news

my head got wet in midnight dew

great God i been down on my bended knees

talking to a man from galilee

michael spoke and he sound 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, ducking and dodging









run on, journey, 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
