Bill Monroe - House of Gold lyrics

People steal they cheat and lie For wealth and what it will buy But don't they know on judgment day That gold and silver will melt away I'd rather be in a 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 hearts not pure and true Sinner hear me when I say Fall down on your knees and pray
