Porter Wayne Wagoner (August 12, 1927 – October 28, 2007) was a popular American country music singer known for his flashy Nudie and Manuel suits and blond pompadour. In 1967, he introduced a then little known Dolly Parton on his long-running television show, and they were a well-known duet throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s. Known as Mr. Grand Ole Opry, Wagoner charted 81 singles from 1954–1983. He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame. more »

Some people steal, they cheat and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
But don't they know on the Judgment Day
That 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

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
