People steal, they cheat and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
Don't they know, on judgement day
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
In your heart's not good and true
Sinner, hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray
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
