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 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

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

Notes:
I used DJ Schmolli’s mash-up of the vocals of Johnny Cash's God's Gonna Cut You Down, the drums on Led Zeppelin's When The Levee Breaks, the Beastie Boys’ bass from Sabotage, the guitar from Ted Nugent's Cat Scratch Fever, and The Beatles’ lead guitar from Come Together. It’s some seriously amazing work. I downloaded it from MashupTown and I highly recommend it.

After having used Windows Movie Maker for so long and then seeing all the cool things I could do with Vegas without having to write xml was amazing. I fiddled around with it for the 30 days trial and produced this, which I will chalk up to experience and learning. I first got the idea for the vid back in December when it was posted on MashupTown, but then Johnny Cash’s original God’s Gonna Cut You Down was used for a promo for the show, I decided not to make the vid, but then I got a few kicks in the pants and did it anyways.

I really like what you've done with this kiki, the experimentation works. The song is perfect, thanks for giving a link to feed my new mashup addiction by the way. I think you really captured the essence of John, his mission and his fatalism and the way they are passed on to Dean.

Great vid.

I was just wondering if you'd posted your vid at supernaturalvid? If you haven't you should! *g*

Not yet. I was going to yesterday, but real life really put a kink in my online plans. I uploaded it to imeem and youtube and before I got to post it, I got called into work early. When I came home I was tired as all get out (and I burned my arm), so I posted on my own journal and went to bed. I had classes starting at 8am today, so now I'm going to pimp it around like it's my ten cent whore.

Thank you. After I finished and watched I thought the experimention would only work for me.

MashupTown is where I get about 30% of my mashup tracks from. They have a great selection. If you want to feed your addiction even more, go through the archives and prepare to listen until your eyes bleed.

When I make I vid I always second guess if my meaning will come across, so I'm delighted you got that. :)
