A Mansion On The Hill by Hank Williams and Fred Rose "Hank went to see Fred Rose, the publisher, at his office at WSM, and the very first day he took four of Hank's songs: 'Never Again Will I Knock On Your Door,' 'I Saw the Light,' and several others. We were so happy and delighted. But then Fred said, 'Boy, I don't know whether you wrote these songs, whether you bought them off somebody or where you got them. I'll tell you what I want you to do: I'm going to give you a title, and I want you to go back and write a song to it.' And this song was 'Mansion On The Hill.'" A Mansion On The Hill 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 your window The trees stand so silent and still I know you're alone with your pride dear In your loveless mansion on the hill. Buy the song A Mansion On The Hill
