You Better Run

(Traditional - Arranged by Elvis Presley)

Information:

This gospel tune was never recorded by Elvis, but he did sing it in concert on a few occasions. Charlie Hodge sang lead, while Elvis sang the bass line. You Better Run was sung in a medley with Bosom of Abraham.

Lyrics:

1. (Well now you'd better run)
And when I say, somebody's calling you you'd better run
And when I say, (somebody's calling you) you'd better run
And when I say, (somebody's calling you)
I feel like my time has long gone, long gone, (my time is long gone)

Well, now goodbye false pretender
Lord I cannot wait for you
For the bible declares you're heaven bound
What the bible declares you do

1. (repeat)

Well, I met a false pretender
Whose head was bending low
I met him in the evening
He was headed down that long lonesome road

1. (repeat)
