House Of Gold Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

Some people steal, they cheat and lie 

For wealth and what it will buy 

But don't they know on the Judgment Day 

That 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 pure 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 poor soul was saved 

Than to live in this world, in a house of gold 

And deny my God and doom my soul
