Paradise - Lynn Anderson[00:00:00]
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 there's a backwards old town[00:00:13]
That's often remembered[00:00:15]
So many times that my mem'ries are worn[00:00:18]
And daddy won't you take me back to muglenberg county[00:00:23]
Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:00:27]
Well I'm sorry my child but you're too late in asking[00:00:32]
Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:00:37]
Well sometimes we traveled right down the green river[00:00:55]
By the abandoned old prison down by adrie hill[00:00:59]
Where the air smelled like snakes[00:01:04]
And we'd shoot with the pistols[00:01:06]
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill[00:01:09]
And daddy won't you take me back to muglenberg county[00:01:14]
Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:01:18]
Well I'm sorry my child you're too late in asking[00:01:23]
Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:01:29]
The coal company came with the world's largest shovels[00:01:45]
They tortured the timber and they stripped all the land[00:01:49]
They dug for the coal 'til the land was forsaken[00:01:54]
Then we wrote it all down as the progress of man[00:02:00]
And daddy won't you take me back to muglenberg county[00:02:05]
Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:02:09]
Well I'm sorry my child you're too late in asking[00:02:14]
Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:02:19]
Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:02:24]
