Subject: Lyr Add: HOUSE OF GOLD (Hank Williams)
I found it at http://www.roughstock.com/cowpie This is a great source for country song lyrics.
A HOUSE OF GOLD Hank Williams Sr.
People [D] steal, they [G] cheat and [D] lie For wealth and what it will buy, But don't they [G] know on the judgement [D] day That gold and [A] silver will melt a-[D] way?
I'd rather be in a deep 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 heart's not pure and true? Sinner, hear me when I say: Fall down on your knees and pray.
