《Paradise(Album Version)》歌词

时长： 02:44

When I was a child my family would travel[00:00:10]

Down to western Kentucky where my parents were born[00:00:14]

There's a backwards old town that's often remembered[00:00:18]

So many times that all my mem'ries're worn.[00:00:22]

Daddy won't you take me back to Muglenberg County[00:00:27]

Down by the Green River where paradise lay[00:00:30]

I'm sorry my son but you're too late in askin'[00:00:35]

Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.[00:00:39]

Now sometimes we float on down the Green River[00:00:45]

By the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill[00:00:49]

Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with the rifles[00:00:54]

But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.[00:00:58]

Daddy won't you take me back to Muglenberg 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 askin'[00:01:11]

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

Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovels[00:01:30]

They tortured the timber and they stripped all the land[00:01:34]

They dug for the coal till the land was forsaken[00:01:38]

And wrote it all down as the progress of man.[00:01:43]

Daddy won't you take me back to Muglenberg County[00:01:48]

Down by the Green River where paradise lay[00:01:51]

I'm sorry my son but you're too late in askin'[00:01:56]

Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.[00:02:00]

When I die let my body float down the Green River[00:02:06]

Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam[00:02:10]

I'll be halfway to heaven with the paradise waitin'[00:02:14]

Five miles away from wherever I am.[00:02:18]

Daddy won't you take me back to Muglenberg County[00:02:23]

Down by the Green River where paradise lay[00:02:27]

I'm sorry my son but you're too late in askin'[00:02:31]

Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away...[00:02:35]
