lirik lagu paradise (1986 version) – john prine
when i was a child, my family would travel
down to western kentucky where my parents were born
and there’s a backwards old town that’s often remembered
so many times that my memories are worn
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 airdrie hill
where the air smelled like snakes and we’d shoot with our pistols
but empty pop bottles was all we would k!ll
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
well, they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
then they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
then 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 float down the green river
let my soul roll on up to the rochester dam
i’ll be halfway to heaven with paradise waiting
just five miles away from wherever i am
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
