| Well my goodness gracious, let me tell you the news
|
| My head's been wet with the midnight dew
|
| I've been down on bended knee, talkin' to the man from Galilee
|
| He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
|
| I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
|
| He called my name and my heart stood still
|
| When he said, "John, go do My will!"
|
| Go tell that long tongue liar
|
| Go and tell that midnight rider
|
| Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
|

|
| Well, you may throw your rock and hide your hand
|
| Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
|
| But as sure as God made black and white
|
| What's done in the dark will be brought to the light
|
| You can run on for a long time
|
| Run on for a long time
|
| Run on for a long time
