—Bill Monroe/Monroe Brothers
There's not one price on the earth here below
That I'd accept in exchange for my soul
My home in the sky is dearer to me
Than all of the gold on land or on sea.
Chorus:
I won't accept (in exchange), I won't accept (in exchange)
No price I'd accept in exchange for my soul
In that fair land where the angels will sing
No price for my soul, I'd accept in exchange
Chorus
Others receive in exchange for their soul
Pleasure and joy and silver and gold
There's coming a time when the young and the old
Will gladly exchange everything for their soul
Chorus
Brother I warn you to stop and take heed
Your silver and gold some day you won't need
You cannot exchange your silver and gold
Or anything else in exchange for your soul
Chorus
