Williams, Hank - A Mansion On The Hill Lyrics






Tonight down here in the valley
I'm lonesome and O 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 loving
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 yer window
The trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill

  13. H.... S....

    One of the best performers I have had the pleasure of enjoying and all his songs comes from the heart! He was called home too early and now he sings for the Master

  14. E.... W....

    Pure Country Music died years , back.

  15. s.... m....

    His music is both haunting and captivating; he was one of a kind.

  16. T.... A....

    Hank said God wrote these songs. “All I did was hang on to the pen.”

  17. J.... ....

    Shakespeare was a 16th century English Hank Williams

  18. K.... G....

    Believe it or not at one time in his career Mr.Williams had recorded and released 35 songs and 11 went to #1.

  19. I.... ....

    This is what I was raised on, and THIS IS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. C.... S....

    Such raw emotion, country needs this today but then this is Hank and they only made one of him

  28. F.... A....

    At 82 I HAVE COME TO KNOW HIS GENIUS...& I THOT JIM REEVES DIED TOO YOUNG....BOTH DID!!!

  29. F.... E....

    Hank was an original he copied no one Hank was Hank Williams

  30. F.... E....

    Hank Williams could write some songs I wonder how many was lost as he took with him to a very early grave

  31. C.... G....

    Now this is true Country music. It ended when singers like Waylon died. So called Country music of today is nothing more than a type of commercial pop.

  32. M.... G....

    Alway enjoy Hank Williams Sr. never gets old , so sad he had such a short life ❤️❤️❤️

    lennon said...bevor elvis was nothing...thats not true...bevor elvis....there was hank williams....and that is really true...no joke...-)

  41. S.... B....

    Hank's very finest. Nothing any better. Haggard done the same wirh his simplistc classic, Today I Started Loving You Again.

  42. R.... E....

    A clear sound and expression that has never been equalled. Thanks for the compilation.

  43. D.... H....

    This might very well be my favorite song by Hank.  It is a perfect Country song.  The greatest wrote and recorded it.  I have not heard anything better over the since and doubt that I will..  Don Helms is on that steel guitar and he was perhaps one of the top steel players of all time.

  44. C.... W....

    Even the Hills Have Eyes

  45. b.... j....

    Beautiful voice real country!

  46. B.... ....

    It’s a crying shame to think of what other songs he may have come up with if he just lived a few more years. One of the greatest artist and songwriters in history of modern music a true genius. Thanks Hank ❤️

  61. C.... P....

    Hey, all you H/Williams fans of old, I'll be 80 on 17.7.19 and still love the old country tunes and still play the 6 strings, but at a more steady "pace"; time did not wait & memories won't "stick" for long. Many of my mates have gone to rest, wondering if I'll ever see them again. Awful feeling to be left behind; some left at an early age, before they reached 60/70. Nah, life is vanity, here to-day and to-morrow, who knows ? Keep enjoying while you can. Time is getting shorter with each passing day. [8.3.19]

  62. w.... l....

    No matter When we Hear Hank Williams Sr. , his music sound's Great whether it be Song's or Hymn's it all Touches Our Soul.

  63. O.... G....

    a really good album is Hank by George..George jones singing Hank Williams songs unbelievable..of course Hank Williams was one of a kind..

  64. B.... H....

  66. J.... P....

  67. t.... n....

    I went to visit his grave back in 06 in Montgomery it was a shrine to him and Audrey . You could feel a presence there.

  68. b.... s....

    This song always reminds me that im gonna die alone cause women aint shit and only care about money

  69. M.... A....

    Passed away 66 years ago and still the greatest country music singer of all time .
    Hanks music transends so many generations .
    Pround to know that 20 year olds are listening to Hanks music and as long as its passed down to the next generation his music will live on forever .

  70. T.... D....

    Beautiful 💗

  71. H.... I....

    I'm a Japanese, but I can't enjoy Hank Williams without tears.

  72. C.... H....

    I can remember my grandmother listening to Hank Williams on her old record player many years ago. She would sit hulling peas on the front poarch singing along with it. How innocent everything seemed back then. I hear these old songs and it brings back so many good memories.!!

  73. G.... A....

    Man I love this man he just makes cry everytime I drink. Which is not that often he is incredibly the best country singer

  74. L.... M....

  79. B.... B....

    I'm in my 80s and still love these songs

  80. B.... S....

    A little tune I wrote awhile back. Still the best songwriter and singer in the history of country music IMHO

  81. C.... t....

    Rest In Peace hank! You are loved by many of us! I was told about how my great grandad used to play your music a lot. I dress from the 20s, 30s, and 40s, and play your songs. Rest In Peace hank! I hope when I make it to heaven I will get to meet you!

    hank is now in heaven singing to Jesus his songs touch your soul

  84. d.... B....

    Never forgotten

  85. L.... R....

    I think one thing that is most overlooked is the lack of instrumentals. Theres no wasted time. It's all singing. No interludes like today.

  86. S.... K....

    No man could ever take dat man place God came an gafed a jew wen e took you I hope youv found peace

  87. L.... A....

    Sang this at my uncles funeral. <3

  88. J.... B....

    you know back when Hank Williams Senior died I was at a grocery store in Miami Florida and it was called Shoppers grocery store we heard it on the radio and my father and my brothers we sat there and cried I have followed Hank Williams Senior all my life I've got every song that he ever wrote some that he has never published ones his son will never get I knew his daughter they'll never be more greater man to sing country music then Hank Williams Senior God bless him when I'm called home I hope to get to see

  89. B.... J....

    Always listened to the old Philco growing up & loved to hear Hank. Our family gathered around the radio whenever he was singing. Hank was a true musical genius and sang from the heart. You can still hear his influence today in some of the country artists, but not many, sadly.

  90. M.... M....

    THE KING OF COUNTRY!

  91. J.... H....

    My grandma mae.loved this tune .

  92. L.... ....

    ANYONE THAT WOULD THUMBS DOWN THE KING OF COUNTRY MUSIC . NEEDS TO BE CRACKED RT BETWEEN THE EYES ..

    L.... ....

    They haven't figured out something about life yet.

  93. D.... H....

    None better, ever!

  94. 0.... ....

    I will try the root beer pop. I had the strawberry and nothing happened. So what the hell, it's all good, I will take a tall glass with my root beer pop. Thanks Hank.
