Cash, Johnny - God's Gonna Cut You Down Lyrics






You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

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
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

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
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

  1. T.... M....

    God sure cut down Kanye. Hallelujah all the glory to God!

  2. r.... a....

    This is THEE Original Gangster ! God bless the man in Black, his family and his message.

  3. K.... M....

    What's dark will be brought to light
    No truer words ever said
    Boom. Amen

  4. R.... R....

    Lol, most of the people in this video do not believe.

  5. S.... O....

    For the love of God listen and make up your own mind . We on the right of political opinion have the high ground.

  6. D.... M....

    April 2024 ANYONE?

  7. _.... H....

    Guys I'm confuse... I thought this was gospel... Dedicated to those who are against God's will
    But why did an apparently satanist like Marilyn Manson cover this song?🤔

  8. G.... K....

    Voice as good as Black label Tennessee no9

  9. A.... R....

    To Adam Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, the media: your time will come.

  10. J.... V....

    Praise God Hallelujah Jesus Christ is King 👑

  11. S.... M....

    I wanna see this hit one billion views

  12. C.... P....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtjbHCJeW_E

  13. L.... E....

    Hahaha WHAT is this video? Amazing song, but my god... so many of our WORST "celebrities". And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse along comes Kid Rock!!! Hahahahaha *goes and watches the Hurt video instead and cries*

  14. C.... H....

    drug video

  15. A.... R....

    You guys don't get it do you?

    The reason why there are so many "famous" actors in this video is to show that God is going to cut them all down.

    Majority of Hollywood actors are satanic pedophiles.
    They had to do certain rituals to get rich and famous, and thats by selling their soul to the Devil.

    I mean, geez, isn't this hand gesture enough? 2:00.
    The $1 bill has the "all seeing eye" (triangle with eye on top).

    Don't believe me?
    Check out Ricky Gervais' monologue during the 2020 Golden Globe.

    Now look at the comments of what everyones saying regarding Tom Hanks.
    Once he goes down, then everyone will finally WAKE UP.

    Its already started with the following actors/famous people:
    Allison Mack
    R. Kelly
    Rolf Harris
    Michael Jackson
    Jeffrey Epstein.
    Dan Schnider
    Harvey Weinstein

    The world is finally waking up slowly.
    I don't care if you think this is crazy!

    If you truly are a Christian and read the Bible, then you know exactly what is going on!
    The Antichrist is right around the corner.

    A.... R....

    All the sheep are asleep and don't want to be disturbed. If the anti-christ is just around the corner, and I believe he is, then the Lord will be here even sooner. HARPAZO 🙌

    A.... R....

    @Terry Lee God bless you brother.

  16. M.... ....

    FROSTPUNK
    The city must survive

  17. m.... g....

    I never realized how many famous people are in this video.

    m.... g....

    mike genovese right why Kanye here 😂

    m.... g....

    Famous people gon' be cut down? God is mercyless? Seems a bit crazy, though.

  18. L.... P....

    2:19 is that Johnny Depp

    L.... P....

    Yes

    Saludos desde argentina :D (no se como es en ingles) :(

  19. N.... O....

    Most of these celebs are pathetic posers.... a good portion are irrelevant at this point! Tacky rappers, pop stars and d list actors... yikes! Maybe three or four people even made sense to star in a video for a song of this caliber!

  20. V.... L....

    Gente con principios
    El ultimo de los moicanos

  21. T.... E....

    Luke 13:5, "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."

    Acts 26:20, "But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance."

    Romans 10:9, "
    (9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
    (10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
    (11) For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
    (12) For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
    (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

    Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

  37. N.... R....

    SONG IS GREAT VIDEO PURE GARBAGE THIS IS WHITE WORKING CLASS NOT SELLOUT HOLLYWOOD HACKS THAT CHANGE THEIR BELIEF AND VALUES FOR NEXT CHEQUE THIS IS LITERAL CULTURAL APPROPRIATION DISGUSTING

  38. D.... R....

    Johnny cash did not write this song!!! This is a song from 1949!!! “Run on for a long time” sung by the golden quartet. It’s a traditional folk song. This is his version but original is awesome!!!’
    Give credit where it is due.

    D.... R....

    D Roc Yes, I will give credit where it’s due... To JOHNNY CASH! He gave this song a soul, a life of it’s own... and without him it would have been lost to total obscurity! Not a fan of the video here or the people in it, but it cannot be denied that he created something VERY powerful when he covered this song in his style and vision.

  39. Z.... D....

    And after all the years, i see the symbolism in this Video. Johnny would be ashamed.

  40. n.... c....

  46. z.... .....

    This song is a warning for the illuminati

    z.... .....

    True, but it's also a warning to all who choose to live in willful sin.

    z.... .....

    it's interesting all of the Illuminati symbols and people in the music industry who have been associated with the Illuminati that were put in the video.I don't know if it was a warning to the Illuminati or a mocking by the Illuminati.

  47. s.... ....

  59. C.... ....

  60. T.... W....

    In john we trust...JC lives on in his music and his fans....oh if anyone forgets what year it is just check the comments on this or any other video

  61. E.... M....

    This song ain't even trying to be esoteric 😢

  62. I.... ....

    This song perfectly resembles my traitorous grandmother. She’s christian, or at least claimed to be for all her life. When I was only a child, my mother and father had their jobs to go to, but I was never put under the watch of a babysitter. Instead, my mother always dropped me off at my grandmas house and I was with her all day until my parents were home. So I pretty much spent most of my childhood with her. As I got older, recently my great grandfather passed away. On his deathbed, he left me and my brother 5 grand each. That was until my greedy grandma rewrote the will and stole the 10 grand from me and my brother. My brother is honestly of no interest to me now. A few years ago, he moved to another state and now has a wife and kids. When me and my parents, now my biological mom and step father, asked her about the money I was left, she said she spent it on a new ring for her and her husband. A new car. A boat. But even worse, she then after a year or so bought a headstone for her father. Before the headstone, there was only a temporary headstone given after the funeral. It then revealed to me her true side. If she was indeed Christian, she went against everything that it stood for. And if she really believes in God, well then sooner or later God’s gonna cut her down. If you took the time to read my life story, I give you my thanks, friends. Hopefully your life is filled with happiness and wealth. Unlike mine.

    I.... ....

    She'll get what's coming

    I.... ....

    God will grant justice.

    I.... ....

    every generation blames the one before....

    I.... ....

    instead of shining a light into her past, forgive and speciffically pray for her to be one that God must "bang on the head to make aware".

  63. J.... C....

    Imagine this in Far Cry 5. It would have worked so well on the militia's radio as a message to the cult.
