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[00:00:09]
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered[00:00:15]
So many times that my memories are worn[00:00:21]
And daddy won't you take me back to muglenberg county[00:00:27]
Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:00:31]
I'm sorry my child but you're too late in asking[00:00:38]
Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:00:43]
Well sometimes we traveled right down the green river[00:01:02]
By the abandoned old prison down by adrie hill[00:01:07]
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with the pistols[00:01:13]
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill[00:01:19]
And daddy won't you take me back to muglenberg county[00:01:25]
Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:01:29]
Well I'm sorry my child you're too late in asking[00:01:35]
Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:01:41]
The coal company came with the world's largest shovels[00:02:00]
They tortured the timber and they stripped all the land[00:02:05]
They dug for the coal 'til the land was forsaken[00:02:10]
Then we wrote it all down as the progress of man[00:02:16]
And daddy won't you take me back to muglenberg county[00:02:22]
Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:02:27]
Well I'm sorry my child but you're too late in asking[00:02:33]
Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:02:39]
Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:02:45]
