G C G
There's an old old house that once was a mansion
D7
On a hill overlooking the town
G C G
But time has left wreckage where once there was beauty
D7 G
And soon the old house will tumble down
D7 C G
But when the leaves start to fall in autumn
D7 C G
And the rain starts to drip from the trees
C G
There's an old old man who walks through the garden
D7 G
And his head is bowed in memory
C G
They say he built the mansion because of a woman
D7
And they planned to be married in the fall
G C G
But her love withered in the last days of summer
D7 G
And the house stood empty after all
