Big Black Smoke lyrics

Artist  : Kinks 
Song : Big Black Smoke



 Send "Big Black Smoke" Ringtone to your Cell 

 She was sick and tired of country life.
A little country home,
A little country folk,
Made her blood run cold.
Now her mother pines her heart away,
Looking for her child in the big black smoke,
In the big black smoke.

Frailest, purest girl the world has seen,
According to her ma, according to her pa,
And everybody said,
That she knew no sin and did no wrong,
Till she walked the streets of the big black
smoke,
Of the big black smoke.

Well, she slept in caffs and coffee bars and
bowling alleys,
And every penny she had
Was spent on purple hearts and cigarettes.

She took all her pretty coloured clothes,
And ran away from home
And the boy next door,
For a boy named joe.
And he took her money for the rent
And tried to drag her down in the big black
smoke,
In the big black smoke.

In the big black smoke.
In the big black smoke.
