My mamaw used to sing this song when i was little and she has passed away now and no one can think of all the lyrics..its a old one..here is some of the lyrics..

An old preacher man wiped the sweat from his wrinkled face..
he said its been a long time travelin from this desert place..
but all of the gold i ever owned i can hold in my hand...
and i take a claim in that far off beuatiful land...

chorus:

A feast will be spread for me when i get home
??????????? for one of his own..
?????????????Im a part of the fold
this world is nothing but glitter down here
im going for the gold!!

....thats all that i can think of.. help will be greatly appriciated!!!

AN OLD PREACHER MAN WIPED THE SWEAT
FROM HIS WRINKLED FACE
HE SAID I'VE BEEN A LONG TIME TRAVELING
THIS DESERT PLACE
ALL OF THE GOLD I'VE EVER OWNED
I COULD HOLD IN MY HAND
BUT I STAKE A CLAIM IN A FAR OFF BEAUTIFUL LAND

A FEAST WILL BE SPREAD FOR ME
WHEN I GET HOME
A KISS AND A FATHERS SMILE
FOR I'M ONE OF HIS OWN
ALL THAT MY FATHER HAS IS MINE
I'M PART OF THE FOLD
A MANSION AWAITS ME IN THAT LAND
I'M GOING FOR THE GOLD

SOME PEOPLE STRIVE SO HARD
FOR WORLDLY PRIDE
FOR THEIR SILVER AND GOLD
THEY WORK ALL THEIR LIVES
BUT THEIR RICHES HERE WILL END
WHEN THEIR HANDS FOLD
THIS WORLD HOLDS NOTHING
BUT GLITTER DOWN HERE
I'M GOING FOR THE GOLD
