This was one of my grandfathers favorite songs off the louvin bros album tragic songs of life.

in G

G
Sad and alone in a mansion
                        D7
No loving wife to caress

Sat a man sad and lonely
                       C    G
No loving wife's lips to kiss

She married him for (possessions?)
                            C
No love in her heart had she
                               G
Sad and alone, in his fine home
D7                        C   G
He looked all around him and said

Chorus, same progression.

What is a home without a baby?
To love and to tease and adore?
What is home without a sweet wife?
To kiss you each night at the door?
What is a home without sunshine?
To spread its bright rays from above?
You can have wealth and its pleasures
But what is a home without love?

Walking down the streets one evening
He passed by a cottage so neat
Stopped and looked in the window
He saw there a picture so sweet
A husband, a wife, and a baby
They were hugging and kissing too
He turned aside, his tears to cry
And from his lips came these words
