Paradise - John Prine[00:00:00]

When I was a child my family would travel[00:00:07]

Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born[00:00:11]

There's a backwards old town that's often remembered[00:00:16]

So many times that my memories are worn[00:00:20]

Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County[00:00:25]

Down by the Green River where Paradise lay[00:00:28]

I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking[00:00:33]

Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:00:37]

But sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River[00:00:44]

To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill[00:00:48]

Where the air smelled like snakes[00:00:53]

And we'd shoot with our pistols[00:00:55]

But empty pop bottles was all we would kill[00:00:57]

Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County[00:01:02]

Down by the Green River where Paradise lay[00:01:06]

I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking[00:01:10]

Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:01:14]

And the coal company came with the world's largest shovel[00:01:39]

We'll tortured the timber and stripped all the land[00:01:43]

They dug for their coal till the land was forsaken[00:01:48]

And they wrote it all down as the progress of man[00:01:52]

Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County[00:01:57]

Down by the Green River where Paradise lay[00:02:01]

I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking[00:02:06]

Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:02:10]

When I die let my ashes float down the Green River[00:02:34]

Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam[00:02:38]

I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waiting[00:02:43]

Just five miles away from wherever I am[00:02:47]

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County[00:02:52]

Down by the Green River where Paradise lay[00:02:56]

I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking[00:03:01]

Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:03:05]

Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:03:09]

Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:03:14]
