Mansion Over the Hilltop - Lyrics - Faron Young

Faron Young was an American country music singer and songwriter from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s and one of its most successful and colorful stars. Hits including "If You Ain't Lovin' " and "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young" marked him as a honky-tonk singer in sound and personal style; and his chart-topping singles "Hello Walls" and "It's Four in the Morning" showed his versatility as a vocalist. Known as the Hillbilly Heartthrob, and following a movie role, the Young Sheriff, Young's singles reliably charted for more than 30 years. He committed suicide in 1996. Young is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

I'm satisfied with just a cottage below A little silver and a little gold But in that city where the ransomed will shine I want a gold one that's silver lined I've got a mansion just over the hilltop In that bright land where we'll never grow old And some day yonder we will never more wander But walk on the streets that are purest gold Organ Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely I'm not discouraged I'm heaven bound I'm but a pilgrim in search of a city I want a mansion a harp and a crown I've got a mansion just over the hilltop In that bright land where we'll never grow old And some day yonder we will never more wander But walk on the streets that are purest gold Organ I've got a mansion just over the hilltop In that bright land where we'll never grow old And some day yonder we will never more wander But walk on the streets that are purest gold
