SISTER MOORE:

You can run on for a long time,

You can run on for a long time,

You can run on for a long time,

I tell you the great God Almighty gonna cut you down.

CONTRALTO:

Some people go to church just to signify

Trying to make a date with their neighbor’s wife.

Brother, let me tell you just as sure as you’re born

You better leave that woman, leave her alone.

One of these days, just mark my word,

You’ll think your neighbor has gone to work,

You’ll walk right up and knock on the door—

That’s all, brother, you’ll knock no more.

Go tell that long-tongued liar, go tell that midnight rider,

Go tell the gambler, rambler, backslider,

Tell him God Almighty’s gonna cut you down.

(During the last line of song MARGARET enters.)
