IN A MANSION STANDS MY LOVE
Written by:
On a mountain stands a mansion so fine;
And it looks down on this cabin of mine;
And I had a love and I loved her true;
But along came a rich man and loved her too;
On a mountain, in a mansion stands my love.
Well, he promised he'd buy her diamond rings;
Yes, he promised fancy dresses and things;
He promised everything indeed;
But he can't buy the love that a poor heart needs;
On a mountain in a mansion so fine.
Now, I know that she's not happy there;
And I know that she's got pain bad;
My only dream is that some day
She'll come right back here and stay
In the cabin, in the valley, with me.
On a mountain stands a mansion so fine;
And it looks down on this cabin of mine;
And I had a love and I loved her true;
But along came a rich man and loved her too;
On a mountain, in a mansion stands my love (4).
