Paradise - 少爷占 (Jim)/The Osborne Brothers/Vassar Clements/Jerry Douglas[00:00:00]
When I was a child my family would travel[00:00:10]
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born[00:00:13]
There's a backwards old town that's often remembered[00:00:19]
So many times that my memories are worn[00:00:23]
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County[00:00:29]
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay[00:00:33]
I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking[00:00:39]
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:00:43]
Sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River[00:00:49]
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill[00:00:53]
Where the air smelled like snakes[00:00:59]
And we'd shoot with our pistols[00:01:01]
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill[00:01:03]
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County[00:01:09]
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay[00:01:13]
I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking[00:01:19]
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:01:23]
And the coal company came with the world's largest shovel[00:01:29]
They tortured the timber and stripped all the land[00:01:33]
They dug for their coal till the land was forsaken[00:01:39]
They wrote it all down as the progress of man[00:01:42]
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County[00:01:48]
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay[00:01:52]
I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking[00:01:58]
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:02:02]
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County[00:02:08]
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay[00:02:12]
I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking[00:02:18]
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:02:22]
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:02:29]
