The Kinks - Big Black Smoke (Alternate Stereo Mix) Lyrics

Lyrics Big Black Smoke (Alternate Stereo Mix) - The Kinks



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 colored 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



Writer(s): Ray Davies
