《Paradise》歌词

[00:00:00] Paradise - 少爷占 (Jim)/The Osborne Brothers/Vassar Clements/Jerry Douglas

[00:00:10] When I was a child my family would travel

[00:00:13] Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born

[00:00:19] There's a backwards old town that's often remembered

[00:00:23] 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

[00:00:39] I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking

[00:00:43] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:00:49] Sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River

[00:00:53] To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill

[00:00:59] Where the air smelled like snakes

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

[00:01:03] But empty pop bottles was all we would kill

[00:01:09] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County

[00:01:13] Down by the Green River where Paradise lay

[00:01:19] I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking

[00:01:23] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:01:29] And the coal company came with the world's largest shovel

[00:01:33] They tortured the timber and stripped all the land

[00:01:39] They dug for their coal till the land was forsaken

[00:01:42] They wrote it all down as the progress of man

[00:01:48] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County

[00:01:52] Down by the Green River where Paradise lay

[00:01:58] I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking

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

[00:02:08] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County

[00:02:12] Down by the Green River where Paradise lay

[00:02:18] I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking

[00:02:22] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:02:29] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
