A House of Gold Songtext

von Hank Williams

People steal they cheat and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
But don't they know on the judgment day
That Gold and Silver will melt a way.

I'd rather be in a deep dark grave
And to know that my poor soul was saved
Than to live in this world in a house of Gold
And deny my God and doom my soul.

What good is Gold and Silver too
If your heart's not pure and true
Sinner hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray.

My Jesus died on calvary ,
He paid the cost that was charged to me
But if silver and gold I never own
Thank God one day I'll have a golden home
