[00:00:25] When I was a child my family would travel

[00:00:30] Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born

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

[00:00:44] And Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County

[00:00:48] 爸爸你能否带我回穆伦伯格县

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

[00:00:53] 格林河边就是天堂

[00:00:53] Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking

[00:01:15] Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols

[00:01:20] 空气中弥漫着蛇的气味我们用手枪射击

[00:01:20] But empty pop bottles was all we would kill
