Elvis Presley - Mansion over the Hilltop (His Hand In Mine)
(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 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 streets that are purest gold
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 the 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 streets that are purest gold
mansion over the hilltop (02:58)

diiscouniverse You have no musical taste.This song is great and the vocals are amazing!! This song has more of a Jazz flavor with the horns, but all of the songs from King Creole are fantastic!! I also love all Elvis's early rockabilly stuff. Hard Headed Woman has some real grit to it. Also, everything from the 68 special--particularly the sit down sessions where he plays the guitar.
