IN A MANSION STANDS MY LOVE
Jim Reeves


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
But along came a rich man and 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 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
I had a love and I loved her true
But along came a rich man and loved her too
Now, on a mountain, in a mansion stands my love....
