Jones, George - Mansion On The Hill Lyrics






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 shine bright from your window
The trees stand so silent and still
And I know you're alone with your pride, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill...

    George Jones had family in Grand Prairie AB, they are never recognized.

  13. J.... b....

  14. w.... h....

    just to show you up or knock you one right under your nose and you will land straight on your back on cement

  15. R.... A....

    first learned about country when dad was stationed in Japan
    and I dated Marines who introduce me to it......loved it since
    Kitty Wells, Patsy Cline and so many more.

  16. R.... A....

    regret so much never went to Grand Old Opry when it was still in Ryman..

    Miss you lots Mr. Jones..... no one will ever fill your shoes. A true country singer!!! I have a heavy heart listening to him.

  20. K.... L....

    A great song sung by the Greatest male country singer of all time. Thank you George. We miss you and sure do love you. RIP.......

  21. J.... P....

    Sends chills down my spine. One of the greatest American singers of all time.

  22. D.... M....

    Im a totall asshole for missing ol George, he was playing in Trenton NJ a couple of years before he died, but I was busy

    D.... M....

    no show George? LOL...had never heard that before the asst to the auditorium in Stockton told me he was coming but....

  23. C.... E....

    "JONESIN"

  24. I.... S....

    This is one of the songs that changed George's career. They (producers) told him to stop trying to imitate Hank Sr - and he did. Once he developed his own style, it was history. But Hank was always George's hero, and you can dang sure here it in this song. Heck, George couldn't mess up a song if he tried. :)

  25. M.... C....

    Funny when you hear a cover of another artist's song....There was only one man (in my opinion) who could sing this song and that was Hank Williams...same as only one man can sing "He Stopped Loving Her Today" and that was George Jones...Two brilliant country singers...Where have all the good country singers gone...

    M.... C....

    George. has a song that talks about that
    whos gonna fill their shoes

    M.... C....

    I love Geo , but some singers are better off leaving the original singers doing the songs they made famous, like Conway Twitty singing"Hello, Darlin'" no one can touch him on it. How I miss seeing these singers, some were my good friends as my husband promoted country shows, and Geo was one of his favorites. Widow of Ken Allen

    M.... C....

    +Michael Crowe they have been taken to a different dimension and all we are left with is crap like new country and Lady Antebellum, country went to shit after the 80s.

  26. T.... H....

    The one and only Hank Williams song the greatest country singer every

  27. s.... s....

    MY FAVORITE COUNTRY SONG

  28. g.... ....

    Jeez Louise, George's voice is so pure and full of pain...I can hardly take it

  29. H.... H....

    やはりハンクの一番の曲だと思います。
    私も愛していた妻と上手く行かず再婚をして今は幸せな日々を過ごしています。
    別れた元の彼女の幸せを心から祈りつつ。

    H.... H....

    @黒田英俊 愛していた, りつつ。 りつ りつつ。りつ,  りつつ。りつ りつつ。.

  30. R.... J....

    There'll ne'er be another Hank Williams, and that is why many artists sing his songs from Nat King Cole to Perry Como, Andy Williams and Tom Jones and Elvis.

    R.... J....

    +RIB JOHANSON   Along with Tony Bennett, Charley Pride, The Carpenters, Linda Ronstadt, Moe Bandy, and Ray Price. Hank was an incredible singer AND songwriter.

    R.... J....

    +Tommy Truth - yeah along with Nora Jones, Ray Charles, BJ Thomas, Connie Francis, & many Other Greats

  31. R.... G....

    This is classic George...He brought the emotion!

  32. A.... M....

    They dont come along like george very often. He made a great contribution to country. RIP George We Love ya.

  33. M.... x....

  34. L.... K....

    George Jones singing Hank Williams. This is the definition of perfection.

    L.... K....

    L.... K....

    I have to agree :) Hank & George are one hell of a good combination long live George and O'l Hank

    The Possum did Hank Williams Sr. justice with his version of this song. RIP George you left us a legend to watch for in the coming generations of Country Music.

    L.... d....

    Has been my favorite since White Lightnin'

  52. l.... m....

    First time that I have heard this song in a long time. George was the one to do. So beautiful!!!!.

  53. G.... J....

    As nice a man in person as on stage. Cheated death many times. Glad Nancy came along to help him last decades. R.I.P., George.

    G.... J....

    thank you darlene i have vidoe camera and i a m]not afraid to plug it in and use it

  54. T.... I....

    REST IN PEACE MR.GEORGE JONES,THANK YOU FOR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC,HEAVENS GATES OPEND AND NOW YOU ARE HOME,JOB WELL DONE. GOD BLESS

  55. B.... H....

    This is as good as a human being can perform this old Hank Williams Song. I can imagine Johnny Cash, Hank Sr. and George Jones singing together right now, whereever they might be.

  56. M.... H....

    country music was the best back then. since the new country; it will never be the same.

  57. E.... L....

    Listen to Good Year For The Roses. It still sends shivers up my spine.

  58. K.... J....

    The only consolation one has is the legacy of beautiful music you left us all. Thank you for making our lives all the richer Mr. Jones.

  59. M.... F....

    a crooner, not soon to be equaled! RIP, George!

  60. R.... P....

    R.I.P george jones

  61. J.... G....

    He is the best!!!

  62. A.... H....

    Hank williams was a great song writer but there surely can't be any argument that George Jones is a far far better singer.

    However, listen to Tampall and the Glaser Brothers version, for a different perspective on the song.

  63. C.... ....

    Rip hank!

  64. s.... d....

    NO ONE CAN BE GEORGE JONES.HE IS THE BEST IN COUNTRY N WESTERN.KING OF COUNRTY.

  65. C.... L....

    No, George does a wonderful job. But it's definately Hanks song and George himself would say no one sings it like Hank.

  66. A.... M....

    George Jones could sing the phone book and I would listen.

  67. e.... ....

    Only Hank could put as much feeling in this song. One heck of a singer that George.

  68. j.... ....

    I love George

  69. G.... W....

    George Jones has a unique voice and he does every song up right.

  70. R.... ....

    @assbiteutube written by Hank Williams with an assist in editing by Fred Rose.

  71. p.... n....

  72. m.... ....

    george jones sang he never had to try

  73. p.... n....

    heard that Hank wrote this song in 20 minutes before recording it.
    a definite class "A" classic by the "MAN" himself & recorded here by the one &
    only Geo. Jones, great job Possum.

  74. M.... F....

    I think this was written by Fred Ross

  75. S.... M....

    NEVER will be another GEORGE JONES!
    5*'s

  76. G.... W....

    George Jones,,,,,,I love to hear him sing...............especially since he found the Lord thru Vestel Goodman.
