Paradise - Lynn Anderson[00:00:00]

When I was a child my family would travel[00:00:17]

Down to western Kentucky[00:00:20]

Where my parents were born[00:00:21]

And there's a backwards old town[00:00:24]

That's often remembered[00:00:26]

So many times that my mem'ries are worn[00:00:28]

And daddy won't you take me[00:00:32]

Back to Muglenberg County[00:00:34]

Down by the Green River where paradise lay[00:00:36]

Well I'm sorry my child[00:00:40]

But you're too late in askin'[00:00:41]

Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:00:44]

Well sometimes we traveled[00:00:57]

Right down the Green River[00:00:59]

By the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill[00:01:01]

Where the air smelled like snakes[00:01:05]

And we'd shoot with the pistols[00:01:07]

But empty pop bottles was all we would kill[00:01:09]

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County[00:01:13]

Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:01:16]

Well I'm sorry my child but you're too late in asking[00:01:21]

Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:01:25]

Then the coal company came[00:01:48]

With the world's largest shovels[00:01:49]

They tortured the timber[00:01:51]

And they stripped all the land[00:01:52]

Well they dug for the coal till[00:01:55]

The land was forsaken[00:01:57]

Then we wrote it all down as[00:01:59]

The progress of man[00:02:01]

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County[00:02:03]

Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:02:06]

Well I'm sorry my child but you're too late in asking[00:02:11]

Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:02:15]

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

Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam[00:02:37]

I'll be halfway to Heaven with paradise waitin'[00:02:41]

Just five miles away from wherever I am[00:02:45]

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County[00:02:49]

Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:02:52]

Well I'm sorry my child but you're too late in asking[00:02:56]

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

Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:03:04]
