A Mansion on the Hill

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

Tonight down here in the valley 
I'm lonesome and oh 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 love, dear 
In your loveless mansion on the hill

[ dobro ]

I've waited all through the years, love 
To give you a heart true and real
Cause I know that you're living in sorrow 
In your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window 
And the trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride, dear 
In your loveless mansion on the hill
In your loveless mansion on the hill
