"A Mansion On The Hill" lyrics

"A Mansion On The Hill"
(originally by Hank Williams)

Tonight, down here in the valley
I'm lonesome and oh, how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin
I can see your mansion on the hill

Do you recall when we parted?
The story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill

I've waited all through the years, love
To give you a heart true and real
'Cause I know that you're living in sorrow
In your loveless mansion on the hill

The light shines bright in your window
The trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill
In your loveless mansion on the hill


Writer(s): Fred Rose, Hank Williams Sr.
