House Of Gold
By Hank Williams Jr.

       D          G          D
People steal they cheat they lie 
    D                       D7  
for wealth and what it will buy
               G                     D
But don't they know on the Judgement Day 
                 Em    A           D
Aall the 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

Oh 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

Than to live in this world in a house of gold 
And deny my God and doom my soul
