Kinks - Mountain Woman Lyrics
They lived together in a dirty old shackAt the edge of the black rocky mountainAnd they drank mountain dew and they lived on the foodThat they grew at the side of the mountainShes a mountain woman, hes her mountain manThey [? ] down the valleyShes a mountain woman, hes her mountain manUneducated but theyre happyMountain woman couldnt read nor writeBut she knew good from evil, she know wrong from rightWhen the government tried to buy her water rightsHer intuition was her only guideShes a mountain woman, hes her mountain manThey [? ] by the valleyShes a mountain woman, hes her mountain manUneducated but theyre happySpend my life with my mountain womanWere uneducated by were happyThe civil servant used compulsory purchaseTo acquire the [? ] for the nationTheyll dig up the land, theyre gonna make a damAnd build a hydroelectric power stationAnd now she lives on the 33rd floorOf a man-made concrete mountainShe got an elevator and refrigeratorAnd an automobile to run around inFast talkin lawyers from the governmentWent and beat proud mountain woman downHey mountain woman, take your mountain manThey took your land and flood your valleySpend my life with my mountain womanTheyre uneducated by theyre happy
