Well I met an old man walking down the street
G7
C
His clothes were torn and tattered with sandals on his feet
G7
He said I love you so much but you must understand
C
Silver and gold might buy you a home
G7
C
But things of this world they won’t last you long
G7
C
And time can’t be bought back with silver and gold
G7
C
For I have some good news to share with you child
G7
The people need to know that a dear Savior died here
C
And silver and gold might buy you a home
G7
C
But things of this world they won’t last you long
G7
C
And time can’t be bought back with silver and gold
C
His eyes shown like diamonds and his smile was Heaven sent
G7
C
His hair was long and flowing and his back was slightly bent
G7
And as I watched him walk on I forgot to get his name
C
He said silver and gold might buy you a home
G7
C
But things of this world they won’t last you long
G7
C
And time can’t be bought back with silver and gold
C
Silver and gold can’t buy you a home
G7
C
When this life has ended and your time is gone
G7
C
And things can’t be bought there with silver and gold
G7
C
And time can’t be bought back with silver and gold
G7
