Hank Williams hat auch einen Song namens "Mansion On The Hill" aufgenommen, der nicht nur den gleichen Titel hat, sondern auch eine ähnliche Story beinhaltet. Die Musik ist aber vollkommen verschieden.
A MANSION ON THE HILL
by Hank Williams
Tonight down here in the valley
I'm lonesome and O 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
You said you could live without loving
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 you're living in sorrow
In your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shine bright from yer window
The trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill
"Land Of Hope And Dreams" erinnert im Refrain textlich sehr an Guthries "Bound For Glory" ... ist wohl daran angelehnt, außer dass Springsteens Zug alle mitnimmt
"Bound For Glory" kann auch ein Traditional sein, das weiß man bei Folksongs nie so genau ...
This train is a-bound for glory, this train.
This train is a-bound for glory, this train.
This train is a-bound for glory,
If you ride on it, you must be holy.
This train is a-bound for glory, this train.
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train.
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train.
This train don't carry no gamblers,
Two-bit whores an' midnight ramblers.
This train is a-bound for glory, this train.
This train don't carry no extras, this train.
This train don't carry no extras, this train.
This train don't carry no extras,
Don't carry nothin' but the level an' special [?].
This train is a-bound for glory, this train.
This train don't pull no jokers, this train.
This train don't pull no jokers, this train.
This train don't pull no jokers, no... cigarette smokers.
This train is a-bound for glory, this train.
This train is a-bound for glory, this train.
This train is a-bound for glory, this train.
If you ride it, you must be holy.
This train is a-bound for glory, this train.
