Artist/Band: Hank Williams Jr.
Lyrics for Song: House Of Gold
Lyrics for Album: Sunday Morning [1969]



People steal, they cheat, they lie

For wealth and what it will buy

But don't they know on the Judgment Day

All the 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 doom my soul



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



For 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

Than to live in this world in a house of gold

And deny my God and doom my soul


House Of Gold

Hank Williams Jr.'s "House Of Gold" stands as a defining track from his 1969 debut album, Sunday Morning. Released during the height of the outlaw country movement, the song captures the raw energy and rebellious spirit that characterized Williams Jr.'s early career. It blends traditional country instrumentation with a driving rhythm that became a hallmark of his sound, distinguishing him from his father's more polished approach. The recording showcases his signature vocal style, characterized by a gritty, raspy delivery that conveyed both vulnerability and defiance. As a cornerstone of his discography, the track exemplifies the fusion of rural roots and rock influence that would define his legacy. It remains a staple in his catalog, representing the era when he began carving out a unique identity within the genre.
