Mansion Over the Hilltop
Recorded by Hank Williams Sr.
Written by Ira Stamphill

I’m sat-[C]isfied with just [F] a cott-[C]age below,
A little [G7] silver and a little [C] gold;
But in that city wh-[F]ere the [C] ransomed will shine,
I want [G7] a gold one that’s [C] silver lined.

(chorus)
I’ve got [F] a mansion just [C] over the hilltop,
In that bright [G7] land where we’ll [C] never grow old;
And [F] someday yonder we will never [C] more wander,
But walk [G7] the streets that are [C] purest gold.

Though often tempted, tormented, and tested,
And like the prophet my pillow’s a stone;
And though I find here no permanent dwelling,
I know He’ll give me a mansion my own

Don’t think me poor or deserted or lonely;
I’m not discouraged, I’m heaven bound.
I’m just a pilgrim in search of a city,
I want a mansion, a harp, and a crown.
