《Paradise》歌词

[00:00:00] Paradise - The Everly Brothers (艾佛利兄弟)

[00:00:14] When I was a child my family would travel

[00:00:17] Down to western kentucky

[00:00:19] Where my parents were born

[00:00:25] And there's a backward old town

[00:00:26] That I often remember

[00:00:29] So many times that my memories are worn

[00:00:37] And daddy won't you take me back

[00:00:39] To Muhlenberg County

[00:00:41] Down by the Green River where Paradise lay

[00:00:45] Well I'm sorry my son

[00:00:47] But you're too late in asking

[00:00:49] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:00:57] Well sometimes we'd travel right down the green river

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

[00:01:08] Where the air smelled like snakes

[00:01:10] And we'd shoot with our pistols

[00:01:12] But empty pop bottles was all we would kill

[00:01:20] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County

[00:01:24] Down by the green river where Paradise lay

[00:01:28] Well I'm sorry my son

[00:01:30] But you're too late in asking

[00:01:32] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:01:58] Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel

[00:02:02] And they tortured the timber and stripped all our land

[00:02:09] Well they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken

[00:02:13] Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man

[00:02:20] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County

[00:02:24] Down by the green river where Paradise lay

[00:02:29] Well I'm sorry my son

[00:02:30] But you're too late in asking

[00:02:33] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:02:40] When I die let my ashes float down the green river

[00:02:44] Let my soul roll on up to the rochester dam

[00:02:51] I'll be halfway to heaven with paradise waitin'

[00:02:55] Just five miles away from wherever I am

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

[00:03:06] Down by the green river where Paradise lay

[00:03:10] Well I'm sorry my son

[00:03:11] But you're too late in asking

[00:03:14] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:03:26] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
