VERSE 1
Some people steal, they rob an' lie
For wealth an' things that it will buy
But don't they know on th judgement day
That gold an' silver will melt away
VERSE 2
I ruther be in a deep dark grave
An' know my poor soul is saved
Then to live in this world, in a house of gold
Deny my God an' doom my sould
VERSE 3
What good is gold an' silver too
If your heart's, not pure an' true
O, sinner hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees an' pray
VERSE 4
I druther be in a deep dark grave
Know that my poor soul is saved
Then to live in this world, in a house of gold
Deny my God an' doom my soul
