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 it can't buy the love that her poor heart need
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 bar
My only dream is that someday
She'll come right back here and stay
In the cabin in the valley with me
