[Chorus]

Go and tell    that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler,

[Verse 2]
     Bbm
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]
   Bbm
Go tell that long tongue liar

[Verse 3]
             Bbm
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

[Chorus]
