A House Of Gold Lyrics & Chords

By Hank Wiliams

Verse 1

(D)People steal, they (G)cheat and (D)lie

for wealth and what it will buy

Don’t they (G)know on the Judgement (D)Day

that their gold and (A)silver will melt (D)away?



Chorus

(D)I’d rather be in a (G)deep, dark (D)grave

and know that my poor soul was saved

than to live in this (G)world in a house of (D)gold

and deny my (A)God and lose my (D)soul.



Verse 2

What good is gold and silver too

if your hearts not good and true.

Sinner, hear me when I say,

bow down on your knees and pray.



Chorus

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 lose my soul.



Chorus

For 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 lose my soul.
