"House of Gold" is a hymn written by Hank Williams.
[1] It was released by MGM Records as the B-side to "How Can You Refuse Him Now?"
It was recorded as a demo when Williams worked the Louisiana Hayride in Shreveport between August 1948 and May 1949.
[2] The song admonishes those who "steal, cheat, and lie" in pursuit of material wealth rather than finding salvation in God.
Despite being a posthumous single that he never recorded with his band in a studio, "A House of Gold" became one of Hank's most covered hymns.
