Mountain Woman — текст песни (Kinks)

They lived together in a dirty old shack

At the edge of the black rocky mountain

And they drank mountain dew and they lived on the food

That they grew at the side of the mountain



Shes a mountain woman, hes her mountain man

They [? ] down the valley

Shes a mountain woman, hes her mountain man

Uneducated but theyre happy



Mountain woman couldnt read nor write

But she knew good from evil, she know wrong from right

When the government tried to buy her water rights

Her intuition was her only guide



Shes a mountain woman, hes her mountain man

They [? ] by the valley

Shes a mountain woman, hes her mountain man

Uneducated but theyre happy



Spend my life with my mountain woman

Were uneducated by were happy



The civil servant used compulsory purchase

To acquire the [? ] for the nation

Theyll dig up the land, theyre gonna make a dam

And build a hydroelectric power station



And now she lives on the 33rd floor

Of a man-made concrete mountain

She got an elevator and refrigerator

And an automobile to run around in



Fast talkin lawyers from the government

Went and beat proud mountain woman down

Hey mountain woman, take your mountain man

They took your land and flood your valley



Spend my life with my mountain woman

Theyre uneducated by theyre happy
