recorded by Dolly Parton written by Carl Perkins, Greg Perkins, Stan Perkins [Verse]

C
Well I met an old man walking down the street

    G7                                  C
His clothes were torn and tattered with sandals on his feet

And I stopped to help him and lend him a hand

        G7
He said I love you so much but you must understand

[Chorus]

           C
Silver and gold might buy you a home

                   G7                        C
But things of this world they won't last you long

And time has a way of turning us old

                  G7                          C
And time can't be bought back with silver and gold

[Verse] And he said to me let's rest for awhile

    G7                       C
For I have some good news to share with you child

He said you can't change this old world

                               G7
The people need to know that a dear Savior died here

A long long time ago [Chorus]

               C
And silver and gold might buy you a home

                   G7                        C
But things of this world they won't last you long

And time has a way of turning us old

                  G7                          C
And time can't be bought back with silver and gold

[Verse]

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

And I knew he knew it for that day I changed

       G7
And as I watched him walk on I forgot to get his name

[Chorus] He said..

           C
Silver and gold can't buy you a home

                   G7                     C
When this life has ended and your time is gone

But you can live in a world where you'll never grow old

                    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 C G C G
