Lyrics and Chords
[1] People cheat they steal and lie For wealth and what it will buy But don't they [4] know on judgment [1] day That gold and [5] silver will melt a-[1]-way
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 And deny my God and doom my soul
What good is gold and silver too If your heart's not pure and true Sinners hear me when I say Fall down on your knees and pray
