Old time mountain gospel, done the old time way...a cappella. These two harmonize so well and keep true to the roots of the song. It is not Southern Gospel, which I like. It is old time gospel like I heard as a small girl, which I adore! This was written by Hank Williams, Sr., which was pointed out to me by musicbox193. What a true delight. From their album, "Real Time" released in 2000. It was so popular it was reissued in 2005. Recorded in one afternoon in Darrell Scott's house. No overdubs, just good picking. Enjoy!
LYRICS (as sung by Tim O'Brien and Darrell Scott). Song and lyrics written by Hank Williams, Sr.:
Some people cheat, they steal and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
Don't they know on judgment day
All the gold and silver melt away?
What good is gold and silver too
If your heart's not pure and true?
Sinner hear me when I say
You gotta get 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 lose my soul.
Some people people cheat, they steal and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
But don't they know on the judgment day
All the gold and silver melt away?
Sinner hear me when I say
You better get down on your knees and pray.
