Tis song was sung by dolly parton and I can only remember a couple bits. Its about meating an old man while walking down a road. Presumably the old man is Jesus. The chorus is something about how silver and gold don't by a home in heaven. The melody sounds like an appalation sort of tune I think. |

CHORUS:
And He said to me Let's rest for awhile CHORUS
His eyes shown like diamonds and his smile was heaven sent
He said silver and gold can't buy you a home And time can't be bought back with silver and gold
You can find this on Dolly Parton CD Eagle When She Flies |
