《paradise》歌词

[00:00:01] Paradise - Johnny Cash

[00:00:09] Daddy won't you take me

[00:00:10] Back to Muhlenberg County

[00:00:12] Down by the Green River

[00:00:14] Where Paradise lay

[00:00:19] I'm sorry my son

[00:00:21] But you're too late in asking

[00:00:23] Mister Peabody's coal train

[00:00:25] Done hauled it away

[00:00:30] When I was a child

[00:00:32] My family would travel

[00:00:34] Down to western Kentucky where

[00:00:36] My parents were born

[00:00:41] To a backwards old town

[00:00:43] That I've often remembered

[00:00:45] So many times that my mem'ries are worn

[00:00:51] And sometimes we'd travel right

[00:00:54] Down the Green River

[00:00:55] To the abandoned old prison

[00:00:57] Down by Adrian's Hill

[00:01:02] Where the air smelled like snakes

[00:01:04] And we'd shoot with our pistols

[00:01:06] But empty pop bottles

[00:01:08] Was all we would kill

[00:01:13] So daddy won't you take me

[00:01:14] Back to Muhlenberg County

[00:01:16] Down by the Green

[00:01:18] River where Paradise lay

[00:01:23] I'm sorry my son

[00:01:25] But you're too late in asking

[00:01:27] Mister Peabody's coal

[00:01:29] Train done hauled it away

[00:01:34] And the coal company came

[00:01:36] With the world's largest shovel

[00:01:38] They stripped all the timber

[00:01:39] And tortured the land

[00:01:44] They dug for the coal till the

[00:01:46] Land was forsaken

[00:01:48] Then they wrote it all down

[00:01:50] To the progress of man

[00:01:55] Oh daddy won't you take me

[00:01:57] Back to Muhlenberg County

[00:01:58] Down by the Green River

[00:02:00] Where Paradise lay

[00:02:05] I'm sorry my son

[00:02:07] But you're too late in asking

[00:02:09] Mister Peabody's coal train

[00:02:11] Done hauled it away

[00:02:16] When I die let my ashes float

[00:02:17] Down the Green River

[00:02:19] Let my soul roll on up to

[00:02:21] The Rochester Dam

[00:02:25] I'll be halfway to Heaven

[00:02:27] With Paradise waitin'

[00:02:29] Five miles away from

[00:02:31] Where ever I am

[00:02:36] Oh daddy won't you take me

[00:02:38] Back to Muhlenberg County

[00:02:39] Down by the Green

[00:02:41] River where Paradise lay

[00:02:46] I'm sorry my son

[00:02:47] But you're too late in asking

[00:02:49] Mister Peabody's coal train

[00:02:52] Done hauled it away
