House Of Gold Lyrics

Patty Griffin

People steal, they cheat and lie For wealth and what it will buy Don't they know on judgment day Gold and silver will melt away?
I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave And know that my first 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? In your hearts not good and true Sinner, hear me when I say Fall down on your knees and pray
I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave And know that my first soul was saved And to live in this world in a house of gold And deny my God and doom my soul
