House Of Gold Lyrics - Country Music - Willie Nelson

People cheat, they steal and lie 

For wealth and what that wealth will buy 

But don't they know that on the judgment day 

Gold and silver will melt away 

And 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 

Deny my God and doom my soul 

What good is gold and silver too 

When your heart's not good and true 

So sinner hear me when I say 

Fall down on all your knees and pray 

And 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 

Jesus died there on the cross 

So this world would not be lost 

Sinner hear now what I say 

For someday you'll have to pay 

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 

Deny my God and doom my soul
