—Hank Williams
People steal they cheat and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
But don't they know on the judgement day
That gold and silver will melt away
Chorus:
I'd rather be in a dark cold 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
Chorus
Extra Hank verses:
Jesus said come unto me
I'll break them chains and set you free
I'll carry you to a home on high
Where you'll never melt or die
Jesus died there on the cross
So this world would not be lost
Sinner hear now what I say
Or some day you'll have to pay
