Jim Ed Brown & The Browns - Mansion over the hilltop Lyrics

(Words & music by Ira Stamphill)

I'm satisfied with just a cottage below,
A little silver and a little gold;
But in that city where the ransome will shine,
I want a gold one that's silver-lined.

Chorus:
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop,
In that bright land where we'll never grow old;
And someday yonder we will never more wonder,
But walk on streets that are pure as gold.

--- Instrumental ---

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.

Chorus:
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop,
In that bright land where we'll never grow old;
And someday yonder we will never more wonder,
But walk on streets that are pure as gold.

Chorus:
We've got a mansion just over the hilltop,
In that bright land where we'll never grow old;
And someday yonder we will never more wonder,
But walk on streets that are pure as gold...
