Hank Williams Sr. Lyrics for Song: House of Gold
 Lyrics for Album: I Saw the Light [2001 Collection] [2001]
 
 
 
 24398>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.
 
 
 
 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 doon my soul.
 
 
 
 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.
 
 
 
 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.
 
 
 
 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.
 
 
 
 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...
