Muswell Hillbilly Lyrics - Kinks

Well I said goodbye to Rosie Rooke this morning 

I'm gonna miss her bloodshot alcoholic eyes 

She wore her Sunday hat so she'd impress me 

I'm gonna carry her memory till the day I die 

They'll move me up to Muswell Hill tomorrow 

Photographs and souvenirs are all I've got 

They're gonna try and make me change my way of living 

But they'll never make me something that I'm not 

'Cos I'm a Muswell Hillbilly boy 

But my heart lies in Old West Virginia 

Never seen New Orleans, Oklahoma, Tennessee 

Still I dream of those black hills that I ain't never seen

They're putting us in identical little boxes 

No character just uniformity 

They're trying to build a computerized community 

But they'll never make a Zombie out of me 

They'll try and make me study elocution 

Because they say my accent isn't right 

They can clear the slums as part of their solution 

But they're never gonna kill my cockney pride 

'Cos I'm a Muswell Hillbilly boy 

But my heart lies in old west Virginia 

Though my hills, they're not green I've seen them in my dreams 

Take me back to those black hills that I ain't never seen
