Hank Williams — A House Of Gold

[Verse 1] People steal, they cheat and lie For wealth and what it will buy Don't they know on the judgement day That their gold and silver will melt away [Verse 2] I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave And 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 [Verse 3] Jesus said, come on to me I'll break sin's chains and set you free I'll carry you to a home on high Where you'll never, never die [Chorus] What good is gold and silver, too When your heart's not good and true Sinner hear me when I say Fall down on your knees and pray [Verse 4] Jesus died there on the cross So this world would not be lost Sinner hear now what I say For someday you'll have to pay [Chorus] What good is gold and silver too If your heart's not good and true Sinner, hear me when I say Fall down on your knees and pray
