Mansion on the Hill

Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (January 21, 1824 – May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and one of the best-known Confederate commanders after General Robert E. Lee. His military career includes the Valley Campaign of 1862 and his service as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. Confederate pickets accidentally shot him at the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863. The general survived with the loss of an arm to amputation, but died of complications from pneumonia eight days later. His death was a severe setback for the Confederacy, affecting not only its military prospects, but also the morale of its army and of the general public. more »

Tonight down here in the valley I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin I can see your mansion on the hill
Do you recall when we parted the story to me you revealed
Yes you said you could live without love dear in your loveless mansion on the hill

I've waited all through the years love to give you a heart true and real
'Cause I know that you're living in sorrow in your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window the trees stand so silent and still
Oh I know you're alone with your pride dear in your loveless mansion on the hill
In your loveless mansion on the hill
