[00:00:00] Paradise - John Denver

[00:00:01] Written by：John Prine

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

[00:00:08] Down to western kentucky where my parents were born

[00:00:13] And theres a backwards old town thats often remembered

[00:00:17] So many times that my memries are worn

[00:00:22] And daddy wont you take me back to muhlenberg County

[00:00:25] Down by the green river where paradise lay

[00:00:30] Well im sorry my son but youre too late in asking

[00:00:34] Mister peabodys coal train has hauled it away

[00:00:39] Well sometimes wed travel right down the green river

[00:00:43] To the abandoned old prison down by adrie hill

[00:00:48] Where the air smelled like snakes and wed shoot with our pistols

[00:00:52] But empty pop bottles was all we would kill

[00:00:57] And daddy wont you take me back to muhlenberg County

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

[00:01:06] Well im sorry my son but youre too late in asking

[00:01:10] Mister peabodys coal train has hauled it away

[00:01:15] And the coal company came with the worlds largest shovel

[00:01:19] And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land

[00:01:24] Well they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken

[00:01:28] Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man

[00:01:32] And daddy wont you take me back to muhlenberg County

[00:01:36] Down by the green river where paradise lay

[00:01:41] Well im sorry my son but youre too late in asking

[00:01:44] Mister peabodys coal train has hauled it away

[00:01:50] Daddy wont you take me back to muhlenberg County

[00:01:53] Down by the green river where paradise lay

[00:01:58] Well im sorry my son but youre too late in asking

[00:02:02] Mister peabodys coal train has hauled it away
