Testi Muswell Hillbilly - The Kinks

Muswell Hillbilly

Well I said goodbye to rosie rooke this morning,\nIm gonna miss her bloodshot alcoholic eyes,\nShe wore her sunday hat so shed impress me,\nIm gonna carry her memory til the day I die.\nTheyll move me up to muswell hill tomorrow,\nPhotographs and souvenirs are all Ive got,\nTheyre gonna try and make me change my way of living,\nBut theyll never make me something that Im not.\nCos Im a muswell hillbilly boy,\nBut my heart lies in old west virginia,\nNever seen new orleans, oklahoma, tennessee,\nStill I dream of the black hills that I aint never seen.\nTheyre putting us in little boxes,\nNo character just uniformity,\nTheyre trying to build a computerised community,\nBut theyll never make a zombie out of me.\nTheyll try and make me study elocution,\nBecause they say my accent isnt right,\nThey can clear the slums as part of their solution,\nBut theyre never gonna kill my cockney pride.\nCos Im a muswell hillbilly boy,\nBut my heart lies in old west virginia,\nThough my hills are not green,\nI have seen them in my dreams,\nTake me back to those black hills,\nThat I have never seen.
