Aaron Jaxon Band performs a live cover of Johnny Cash's "God's Gonna Cut You Down" at Capone's on December 30, 2016. A traditional song about reckoning, delivered as a raw, direct performance.
Go tell that long-tongued liar, go tell that beer-narrator, tell the rambler, the gambler, the backbiter, tell them that God's going to cut them down, tell them that God's going to cut them down. Well, knock at this face, let me tell you the news. My hat's been weathered by the midnight dew. I've been down on bended knee talking to the Bath of Galilee. He spoke to me in a voice so sweet, I thought I heard the shuffling of angel's feet. He spoke my name and my heart stood still when he said, boy, go do my will. Tell that bald-tongued liar, go tell that man I'm a rider. Tell the rambler, the gambler, the backbiter, tell him that God's gonna cut him down. Tell him that God's gonna cut him down. hide your head when you're working in the dark against your fellow man. But as sure as God made black and white, what's not in the dark will be brought to the light. Go tell that long-tongued liar, go tell that mill now rioter, tell the gambler, the gambler, the backbiter, tell them that God's gonna cut them down. Tell them that God's gonna cut them down. You can run on for a long time, run on For a long time, rap on for a long time. Soon or later, I'll cut you down. Soon or later, I'll cut you down. Soon or later, I'll cut you down.
