Mansion on the Hill (Health & Happiness Show Five, October 1949) Songtext
von Hank Williams

Start off with a little tune in mind I wrote a while back
Hope you′ve heard it, called Mansion On The Hill

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 you're living in sorrow
In your loveless mansion on the hill

The light shines bright from 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

Huh, friends, right now we want to listen for just a minute
Here we′ve some mighty good news for you
Be right back with you in a minute
