《Paradise》歌词

[00:00:00] Paradise - Lynn Anderson

[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 there's a backwards old town

[00:00:15] That's often remembered

[00:00:18] So many times that my mem'ries are worn

[00:00:23] And daddy won't you take me back to muglenberg county

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

[00:00:32] Well I'm sorry my child but you're too late in asking

[00:00:37] Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:00:55] Well sometimes we traveled right down the green river

[00:00:59] By the abandoned old prison down by adrie hill

[00:01:04] Where the air smelled like snakes

[00:01:06] And we'd shoot with the pistols

[00:01:09] But empty pop bottles was all we would kill

[00:01:14] And daddy won't you take me back to muglenberg county

[00:01:18] Down by the green river where paradise lay

[00:01:23] Well I'm sorry my child you're too late in asking

[00:01:29] Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:01:45] The coal company came with the world's largest shovels

[00:01:49] They tortured the timber and they stripped all the land

[00:01:54] They dug for the coal 'til the land was forsaken

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

[00:02:05] And daddy won't you take me back to muglenberg county

[00:02:09] Down by the green river where paradise lay

[00:02:14] Well I'm sorry my child you're too late in asking

[00:02:19] Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:02:24] Mr peabody's coal train has hauled it away
