Paradise - John Denver[00:00:00]

Written by：John Prine[00:00:01]

When I was a child my family would travel[00:00:04]

Down to western kentucky where my parents were born[00:00:08]

And theres a backwards old town thats often remembered[00:00:13]

So many times that my memries are worn[00:00:17]

And daddy wont you take me back to muhlenberg County[00:00:22]

Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:00:25]

Well im sorry my son but youre too late in asking[00:00:30]

Mister peabodys coal train has hauled it away[00:00:34]

Well sometimes wed travel right down the green river[00:00:39]

To the abandoned old prison down by adrie hill[00:00:43]

Where the air smelled like snakes and wed shoot with our pistols[00:00:48]

But empty pop bottles was all we would kill[00:00:52]

And daddy wont you take me back to muhlenberg County[00:00:57]

Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:01:01]

Well im sorry my son but youre too late in asking[00:01:06]

Mister peabodys coal train has hauled it away[00:01:10]

And the coal company came with the worlds largest shovel[00:01:15]

And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land[00:01:19]

Well they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken[00:01:24]

Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man[00:01:28]

And daddy wont you take me back to muhlenberg County[00:01:32]

Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:01:36]

Well im sorry my son but youre too late in asking[00:01:41]

Mister peabodys coal train has hauled it away[00:01:44]

Daddy wont you take me back to muhlenberg County[00:01:50]

Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:01:53]

Well im sorry my son but youre too late in asking[00:01:58]

Mister peabodys coal train has hauled it away[00:02:02]
