[00:00:00] Paradise - John Fogerty

[00:00:01] Written by：John Prine

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

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

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

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

[00:00:29] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg county

[00:00:33] Down by the green river where paradise lay

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:24] Hey

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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