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
[Chorus]
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!"
[Chorus]
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 down 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
[Chorus]
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
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
[Chorus]
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!"
[Chorus]
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 down 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
[Chorus]
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
| fennis2000 | Posted: May 13, 2013 - 10:57 Love it. This made my morning. More please. |
| window (Richmond, VA) | Posted: May 13, 2013 - 10:46 Why so much hate for this song? Considering that LZ's "When the Levee Breaks" was itself a creative appropriation of an old blues standard, it seems DJ Schmolli is just taking part in music's ongoing evolution. Like it or not, adaptation has and always will be a musical tradition. I say right on, and turn it up! |
| jadewahoo | Posted: May 13, 2013 - 10:39 Its irrelevant whether or not I like/do not like remixing... this is a horrid job. Choppy, out-of-context. Barfo.. why is there no 'zero' rating for such as this? |
| ziakut (Slightly North of Obvlivion) | Posted: May 13, 2013 - 10:39 "Melodic" and "Catchy"...are two adjectives that don't exist when this tune is being heard. Now...."Cheap" and "Unoriginal"...now we're talkin' folks. Perhaps this is a novelty with all the samples...but "Nahhhh...I'll take a pass!" |
| ench | Posted: May 13, 2013 - 10:37 Can't even hope to meet the original. And the Beatles transition is misplaced. |

| IMGoph (Washington, DC) | Posted: Mar 11, 2013 - 18:03 Hadn't listened to Radio Paradise in ages. Thought about this song, opened RP, and it was playing. Freaky... |
| gypsyman (just passing through....) | Posted: Feb 23, 2013 - 11:37 Haven't heard this in awhile. And that's OK. |

| chasech5 (Ames, IA) | Posted: Feb 08, 2013 - 09:17 Great songs. But just because every ingredient is great.... |
| thatch (Shhh....at work....) | Posted: Feb 08, 2013 - 09:17 The worst. |
| winotron (Phoenix, AZ) | Posted: Feb 08, 2013 - 09:17 I like some mash-up artists, Girl Talk in particular, but this is pretty lame. Girl Talk puts this to shame. |

| ScottishWillie (The Scottish Lowlands) | Posted: Jan 23, 2013 - 04:01 I always confuse the start of this with a Zeppelin song! |
| Rebis (Chicago) | Posted: Dec 22, 2012 - 19:42 "I should hate this but I don't, it is most excellent." I concur, as well. coccyx wrote: exactly what I was thinking! |
| LPCity (Salt Lake City, Utah) | Posted: Dec 07, 2012 - 16:20 If this is a fight between these five artists, Johnny Cash wins. Nugent goes down first because no guns allowed and for all his talk, he's a wimp. The Beatles excuse themselves from the fight because they're not fighters and all you need is love, right? Zepplin goes down next as their english pub fighting skills don't serve them well here. Which leaves the Beasties who put forth their best effort but ultimately tire out and quit when they realize Johnny cash will never quit. All hail the winner, and still champion, Johnny Cash! |

| zenhead (Maine) | Posted: Nov 06, 2012 - 06:50 johnny cash goes with everything! |
| max_p | Posted: Nov 06, 2012 - 06:49 mashups not 100% creative, but artistic and fun. I like the cat scratch fever bit buzzed in here. |
| cShaggy (..in the general vicinity..) | Posted: Oct 21, 2012 - 02:16 ..i vote for more mashups on RP-!..nice, sirrah Bill.. |
| PeterSprang (Bali, Indonesia) | Posted: Oct 05, 2012 - 21:55 thanks, RP, for keep on surprising me with music beyond borders |
| lily34 (lexvegas) | Posted: Sep 19, 2012 - 13:31 love it. no idea why, but it reminds me of dread zeppelin. |
| johnjconn (chicago land) | Posted: Sep 04, 2012 - 08:23 Led Zepplin drums Beatle guitars Man in Black vocals |
| Windowman (cowboyland) | Posted: Aug 04, 2012 - 00:33 "I always get DJ Schmolli and Rabbi Shmuley mixed up" ROFL - Hippiechick, you kill me. Even Rabbi Shmuley would have to admit this song's rating has to go UP. |
| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: Aug 03, 2012 - 21:24 Larcenous, but entertaining. |
| 4merdj (donde el viento se devuelve) | Posted: Jul 18, 2012 - 15:04 Not plagiarism ... this is a mashup, people! (from a mixologist) ... see here Gotta love Johnny Cash's photo (another mashup probably...) |
| dw (PHill, CA) | Posted: Jul 18, 2012 - 15:03 Sounds a little weird. But interesting.  |
| old_shep (Iowa) | Posted: Jul 03, 2012 - 10:50 Plagiarism is plagiarism, however legal and/or talented. |

| rabaak | Posted: Jun 01, 2012 - 14:11 I thought this was Johnny Cash |
| laramieu (the plains) | Posted: Jun 01, 2012 - 14:10 Does anyone else think of Torte Elvis when they hear this? |

You'll quickly revise your opinion of the skill level required. I agree. John Bonham, Keith Moon, Cozy Powell get some sticks and and a drum kit, hit this one, tap that one, kick the other one, its easy!!! |
