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 lived all their lives by 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 knew 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 Lived all their lives 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 valley for the nation They'll dig up the land, they're gonna make a dam And build a hydroelectric power station Songtexte 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
