On a mountain stands a mansion so fine
And it looks down on this cabin of mine
I had a love and I loved her true
Along came a rich man who loved her too
Now 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 find 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 things to fear
My only dream is that someday She'll
come right back here with me and stay
In a cabin in the valley with me
On a mountain in a mansion stands my love
On a mountain in a mansion stands my love
On a mountain in a mansion stands my love
