《Paradise》歌词

[00:00:00] Paradise - Lynn Anderson

[00:00:04] When I was a child my family would travel

[00:00:09] Down to western kentucky where my parents were born

[00:00:15] And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered

[00:00:21] So many times that my memories are worn

[00:00:27] And daddy won't you take me back to muglenberg county

[00:00:31] Down by the green river where paradise lay

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

[00:00:43] Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:01:02] Well sometimes we traveled right down the green river

[00:01:07] By the abandoned old prison down by adrie hill

[00:01:13] Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with the pistols

[00:01:19] But empty pop bottles was all we would kill

[00:01:25] And daddy won't you take me back to muglenberg county

[00:01:29] Down by the green river where paradise lay

[00:01:35] Well I'm sorry my child you're too late in asking

[00:01:41] Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:02:00] The coal company came with the world's largest shovels

[00:02:05] They tortured the timber and they stripped all the land

[00:02:10] They dug for the coal 'til the land was forsaken

[00:02:16] Then we wrote it all down as the progress of man

[00:02:22] And daddy won't you take me back to muglenberg county

[00:02:27] Down by the green river where paradise lay

[00:02:33] Well I'm sorry my child but you're too late in asking

[00:02:39] Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:02:45] Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away
