《Paradise》歌词

[00:00:00] Paradise - J. Tex

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

[00:00:11] Muhlenberg County

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

[00:00:17] Well I'm sorry my son

[00:00:19] But you're too late in asking

[00:00:21] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:00:26] When I was a child my family would travel

[00:00:30] Down to western Kentucky

[00:00:32] Where my parents were born

[00:00:35] And there's a backwards old town

[00:00:37] That's often remembered

[00:00:39] So many times that my memories are worn

[00:00:44] And daddy won't you take me back to

[00:00:47] Muhlenberg County

[00:00:48] Down by the Green River where Paradise lay

[00:00:52] Well I'm sorry my son

[00:00:54] But you're too late in asking

[00:00:57] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:01:02] Well sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River

[00:01:05] To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill

[00:01:11] Where the air smelled like snakes

[00:01:12] And we'd shoot with our pistols

[00:01:15] But empty pop bottles was all we would kill

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

[00:01:22] 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

[00:01:54] And the coal company came with

[00:01:57] The world's largest shovel

[00:01:59] They tortured the timber

[00:02:01] And stripped all the land

[00:02:03] And then they dug for their coal

[00:02:05] Till the land was forsaken

[00:02:08] Then they wrote it all down

[00:02:09] As to progress of man

[00:02:13] And daddy won't you take me

[00:02:15] Back to Muhlenberg County

[00:02:17] Down by the Green River where Paradise lay

[00:02:21] Well I'm sorry my son

[00:02:23] But you're too late in asking

[00:02:25] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:02:30] When I die let my ashes float

[00:02:32] Down the Green River

[00:02:34] Let my soul roll on up

[00:02:36] To the Rochester dam

[00:02:39] I'll be halfway to Heaven with paradise waiting

[00:02:43] Just five miles away from wherever I am

[00:02:48] And daddy won't you take me

[00:02:50] Back to Muhlenberg County

[00:02:52] Down by the Green River where Paradise lay

[00:02:56] Well I'm sorry my son

[00:02:58] But you're too late in asking

[00:03:01] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away miss

[00:03:05] Peabody's coal train has hauled it away miss

[00:03:09] Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
