Johnny Horton - The Mansion You Stole Lyrics






The mansion I own has captured your heart
You said it was love dear but you lied from the start
I wanted true love but you wanted my gold
Someday you'll be sorry for the lies that you told

You've stolen my heart and you cheated on me
But someday my darling I know that you'll see
A house without love can make you so cold
And you will be lonely in the mansion you stole

You said it was love dear but you lied from the start
Someday you'll be sorry for the lies that you told

You've stolen my heart and you cheated on me
But someday my darling I know that you'll see
A house without love can make you so cold
And you will be lonely in the mansion you stole

  3. B.... L....

    No one has ever got close to this natural man's talent. Not even elvis.

  4. L.... M....

    Major, major country voice !

  10. �.... ....

    I love very much johnny

  11. k.... K....

    does it not seem that all the great singers died young?

    k.... K....

    How old were Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and Bing Crosby when they died?

    k.... K....

    @Rene LeClerc Tony Martin made it to around 98.

    k.... K....

    @Rene LeClerc all were older before fame & were not all that above average

  12. j.... m....

    a WOW is not sufficient to describe this song...but what else is there

  13. G.... L....

    choice to all

  14. J.... J....

    this is a great

  15. l.... w....

    WHEN LIFE WAS SIMPLE AND LOVING

  16. I.... F....

    another classic from the master.

  17. D.... S....

    This is a good article about Johnny.
    https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fhort

  18. a.... s....

    he don't mean an actual mansion in the song, when he says mansion he's referring to himself

    a.... s....

    you got what i meant, and putting caps into what i said really changes nothing. we're all adults and i hope we can all read.

    a.... s....

    lol i'm not even gonna..

    a.... s....

    @Milton Moore You are correct. He is talking about his home. She didn't love him, She only wanted what he had.

    a.... s....

    @Daisy Flowers
    Thanks. Stewie doesn't have two brain cells to rub together!

  19. R.... B....

    Certainly a beautiful one from Johnny, who is most remembered for The Battle of New Orleans.

    R.... B....

    Novelty songs like
    the one you referenced will
    always outsell the
    deep, touching and elegantly lyrical romantic ballads with which
    they compete.(Google: Fibich, POEM FOR ORCHESTRA(This
    has the original
    "Moonlight Madonna" melody), Ragna Schirmer on BRAHMS RHAPSODY(lots
    of my remarks are
    buried within the replies of others),
    The Everly Brothers on TEMPTATION,
    and for a change
    of pace, these
    episodes of WHAT'S MY LINE
    (Linda Darnell, at
    16:00,), John Wayne at 19:00),
    (Francis the Talking Mule at 15:00), and (Tyrone
    Power at 17:00)😃

    R.... B....

    Opened my new stack of index cards to take note of your suggestions! I have started dating them so I will know which are the oldest and need to be the next step on my path of great suggestions by the infamous Milton Moore! Thank you, Milton for filling many boring hours with songs I enjoy!

    R.... B....

    All the pleasure is
    MINE!

  20. C.... D....

    A legend lost way too soon...never replaced!

  21. M.... M....

    This immortal
    performance
    belongs in the
    Pantheon of the
    greatest country music
    recordings in
    history.

    M.... M....

    I agree!

  22. j.... ....

    Lovely meaningful song

  23. P.... B....

    Johnnys, songs are sweet,What a singer one of the best
    ตอบกลับ

  24. C.... D....

    The best of country....lost him way too soon❤️

  25. C.... B....

    I liked his recoding better that didn't have all the background singers . Bio I still get chills when I hear. I still remember the day he died. I cried as he was and still one of favorite singers.

    C.... B....

    Strip away the gorgeous background ground choruses
    from ANY recording and it
    becomes impotent! Hard
    to imagine someone like you
    who thinks it
    would be an IMPROVEMENT!

  26. C.... B....

    I have been listening to Johnny since the 50's. He had an earlier recording of this which was even better than this. Less Strings and allowing his haunting voice to be enjoyed

  27. �.... ....

    All Of his songs are pretty good•

  28. R.... p....

    Apparently there our 39 people who dislike this song and all I can say some people just don't have any taste for true country music!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    R.... p....

    That's it! You
    are spot on! Some
    people, for instance, don't have a taste for
    magnificent classical music
    which has endured
    throughout the ages, especially
    grand opera.
    Go figure. I love
    them both. Can't
    understand why
    some folks get in an uproar
    over this issue. If people
    don't share one's taste in
    food, furniture ties, clothing, hair styles, autos, TV shows, films, pets, sports, the
    opposite sex, religion, vacation sites,
    collectibles, paintings, literature,
    WHATEVER, they can accept that. But differ
    with them over
    a song, and they
    become overwrought and oftentimes
    downright nasty. Fortunately, and
    gratifyingly, you
    are not one of these intolerant,
    narrow-minded
    lunkheads who
    fill the comment
    pages with
    ascerbic diatribes over
    someone simply not caring for a song. Sensible
    people simply
    don't care why
    someone hit
    the dislike button. And I
    notice that virtually ALL of
    the people who do get upset over the dislikes never
    comment themselves on
    what it is THEY
    themselves actually like about the
    song in question, whilst
    people who hit
    the dislike button rarely ever leave a comment about
    what they don't
    like, so obviously it is
    no big deal and
    nothing to get
    in a twist about.
    While on the other hand oftentimes the
    dislikers of the
    "dislike button" hitters engage
    in name calling
    and profuse profanity, in addition to coming off as not the brightest bulbs
    on the Christmas tree,
    illiterate, and
    infernal Jackasses, to be forthright
    about it. Visit the channels that feature BAD MOON RISING by Credence Clearwater; CALIFORNIA DREAMING by Mamas & Papas; & HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN by The Animals, and psychopaths and various hot-heads have
    left comments
    actually wishing for the dislikers to die excruciatingly painful and hideous deaths! It's just something we have to suffer through
    while reading
    the mostly affable, sensible, heart-
    warming, and
    informative comments.


    Regarding this
    performance:
    Johnny Horton
    was REALLY singing from the mountaintop
    on this one! When God was
    handing out the
    most beautiful
    singing voices,
    the late/great
    Johnny Horton
    was among the
    first in line!
    Respectfully.
    Peace!!!

    R.... p....

    Ramsey propteries no some people are just plain stupid

    R.... p....

    He sang with passion he put feeling into his songs you can almost see what he's singing about

  29. T.... S....

    Am I the only 15 year old here??????

    T.... S....

    I assume this means you like
    the song. Congratulations
    on finding it!😃😃

  30. L.... K....

    Johnnys, songs are sweet and sentimental.

  31. M.... J....

    Johnny's Greatist Hits album was the first one I added once I got back into music. I took a long hiatus from country.

    This will always be my favourite Horton tune.

    M.... J....

    Welcome back!
    You couldn't have
    selected a finer
    album!😃😃😃😃

  32. P.... B....

    เพราะและเป็นเพลงประทับใจอีกเพลงหนึ่ง..

  35. h.... ....

    Brings back old but beautiful memories. I first listen to Johnny Horton's songs way back in High School in the 70's. Has been always meaningful & are still now.

  36. G.... N....

    damn im old

    G.... N....

  37. T.... H....

    Now this country music at in very best What a singer one of the best

    T.... H....

    I don't regard this as Country but it is still a great song and JH was a great singer.

    T.... H....

    +Robert Jackson
    You must have
    a peculiar criteria for what
    you consider to
    be country.

    T.... H....

    Yep REAL country!!

    T.... H....

    Thomas Haverstock I loved Johnny Horton for years, I love all for the love of a girl.

    T.... H....

    Tone Deaf Morons will always be around....Such Is Life!

  45. R.... M....

    After hearing this song case closed why this man is not in country music hall of fame?

    R.... M....

    Ron McMunn he died too early

    R.... M....

    Dying too early did not keep Hank Williams out of the COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME. And Hank was several years
    younger than Johnny, who died
    at age 35. Plus, Johnny could sing
    circles around Hank, who was a
    great songwriter,
    but lacked the
    most important thing for a singer,
    a beautiful, mesmerizing voice!

    For me, it's a first
    place dead heat
    photo finish betwixt this one

  53. P.... P....

    Thanks.

  54. d.... r....

    Real talent!

  55. A.... W....

    As I had always been wondering what the story is regarding the song, is this song about someone who cheated love towards someone and that the person lied all the way through?

    A.... W....

    go to wickipedia  or go to google and type in the song  sometimes it will take you to a site that tell about songs and thier writers

    A.... W....

    Okay I cannot believe that I am addicted to this song! LOLs but it does have a good message

  62. K.... A....

    Johnny Horton, one of the greatest male singers ever colored the world of entertainment.
    His male/manly voice is astonishing.

  63. R.... L....

    I do remember he had parts of Deans car in his. Apparently,the car is cursed.

  64. v.... j....

    this is a very very good rendition of a truly deep sentiment this is a new one on me but i will listen again

  70. R.... L....

    A great singer with great songs of America. Was it true the car he died in was owned by James Dean who died in it also?

  71. d.... ....

    Your daughter is absolutely RIGHT. Your good karma rewards you in this life. Congratulations!!

  72. d.... ....

    Absolutely TRUE.

  73. P.... R....

    So very well do I remember Johnny Horton; I was young and single. Why the hell did I get married and ruin a good thing? Oh well, my daughter maintains we come back for another life and next time I'll get it right. Now I've my 2nd very good wife and my wonderful daughter from my 1st. Johnny Horton was among the best and I well remember the day he was killed. Goodbye Johnny; sing with the angels now!

  74. C.... D....

    Burn it to the ground. So many want the possesions not the person.

    C.... D....

    No. Sell it and give
    the money to
    charities!

  75. D.... L....

    Love this song one of my favorites by Johnny Horton.

  76. m.... ....

    This is so true many people only care about possessions and miss the deep meaning of life, what would you gain if you gained the whole world but lost your soul!

  77. K.... D....

    Johnny Hortons career short but SPECTACULAR.One of a Kind talent.Thanks for Great upload.

  78. B.... B....

    This is the true version.
