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 |
