Mountain Woman Lyrics - 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 

She's a mountain woman, he's her mountain man 

They (?) down the valley 

She's a mountain woman, he's her mountain man 

Uneducated but they're happy 

Mountain woman couldn't 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

She's a mountain woman, he's her mountain man 

They (?) by the valley 

She's a mountain woman, he's her mountain man 

Uneducated but they're happy 

Spend my life with my mountain woman 

We're uneducated by we're happy 

The civil servant used compulsory purchase 

To acquire the (?) for the nation 

They'll dig up the land, they're 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 

They're uneducated by they're happy
