A House Of Gold Lyrics - George Jones

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 

I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave 

And 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
