When I was a child my family would travel | |
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born | |
There’s a backwards old town that’s often remembered | |
So many times that my memories are worn | |
And daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County | |
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay | |
Well, I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in asking | |
Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away | |
Well, sometimes we’d travel right down the Green River | |
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill | |
Where the air smelled like snakes and we’d shoot with our pistols | |
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill | |
Daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County | |
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay | |
Well, I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in asking | |
Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away | |
Then the coal company came with the world’s largest shovel | |
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land | |
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken | |
en they wrote it all down as the progress of man | |
Daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County | |
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay | |
Well, I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in asking | |
Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away | |
When I die let my ashes oat down the Green River | |
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam | |
I’ll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin’ | |
Just five miles away from wherever I am | |
Daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County | |
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay | |
Well, I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in asking | |
Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away |
