WEALTH WON'T SAVE YOUR SOUL Words and music by Hank Williams. As recorded by Hank Williams, 1946. (Sterling 204 A)
As we journey along on life’s wicked road, Though selfish are we for silver and gold, You can treasure your wealth, your diamonds and gold, But, my friend, it won’t save your poor wicked soul.
For when God calls from his home up on high, To your earthly wealth you must say goodbye. Then it’s useless to you if you’ve strayed from the fold, For, my friends, it won’t save your poor wicked soul.
The rich man like all will be judged at that time, But all of his wealth will be left behind, For no matter how much earthly wealth you get hold, My friend, it won’t save your poor wicked soul. My friend, it won’t save your poor wicked soul.
