I am indebted to ’50s Dallas civil rights leader, Juanita Craft, for the term “midnight writer”. A study group would finally agree on a report on civil rights, and the next day, it would be released, bearing no resemblance to what the group approved.
Radish the wordsmith over 6 years ago
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
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
