As we journey along, on a life's wicked road   So selfish are we, for silver and gold   You can treasure your wealth, your diamonds and gold   But my friends it won't save, your poor wicked soul      For when God calls, from his home up on high   To your earthly wealth, you must say goodbye   Then it's useless to you, if you've strayed from the fold   For my friend it won't save, your poor wicked soul      The rich man like all, will be judged at that time   But all of his wealth, will be left behind   For no matter how much earthly wealth you get hold   My friend it won't save, your poor wicked soul      My friend it won't save, your poor wicked soul
