Paradise - John Fogerty[00:00:00]

Written by：John Prine[00:00:01]

When I was a child my family would travel[00:00:11]

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

There's a backwards old town that's often remembered[00:00:20]

So many times that my memories are worn[00:00:24]

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]

Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking[00:00:38]

Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:00:42]

Well sometimes we'd travel right down the green river[00:00:47]

To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie hill[00:00:51]

Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols[00:00:56]

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

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg county[00:01:06]

Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:01:10]

Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking[00:01:15]

Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:01:19]

Hey[00:01:24]

Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel[00:01:45]

And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land[00:01:49]

Well they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken[00:01:54]

Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man[00:01:58]

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

Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:02:07]

Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking[00:02:12]

Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:02:16]

When I die let my ashes float down the green river[00:02:21]

Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam[00:02:25]

I'll be halfway to heaven with paradise waiting[00:02:30]

Just five miles away from wherever I am[00:02:34]

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg county[00:02:40]

Down by the green river where paradise lay[00:02:44]

Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking[00:02:48]

Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[00:02:53]
