My employer likes a song by Johny Cash that goes something like "God's gonna cut them down" .... I've gone to limewire and typed those words in every way you could, and still can't seem to find the song for him. So, what's the title to that song, so I can get it for my employer? Thanks!!

Well, maybe this will help. Elvis did a song called "Run On" in which the line "Let me tell you God almighty gonna cut you down" occurs. Elvis and Johnny Cash were contemporary and in those days everyone sang anyone's work especially because few successful singers wrote their own material and sang it exclusively giving them a good reason to protect it savagely. Johnny may very well have covered it too. Try the title and the line out on your boss.
Chorus:
Well you may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you God almighty gonna cut you down
Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well
Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well
Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
Tell them God almighty gonna cut them down
Added after seeing replies others made:
Songs were often given different titles by the singers, even calling them different names every night. Songs were simply not one's children of anguished labor and cherished muse in those days. Very likely Johnny Cash named it differently or that Elvis did his after Cash did and he was the one naming it differently.

It's called "God's Gonna Cut You Down," not "Them Down." All you had to do was a quick search on Yahoo or something with those lyrics and Johnny Cash's name.
