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 to
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 it can't buy the love that her 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 thing to bad
My only dream is that someday
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 to
Now, 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...
