《Paradise》歌词

[00:00:00] Paradise - Lynn Anderson

[00:00:17] When I was a child my family would travel

[00:00:20] Down to western Kentucky

[00:00:21] Where my parents were born

[00:00:24] And there's a backwards old town

[00:00:26] That's often remembered

[00:00:28] So many times that my mem'ries are worn

[00:00:32] And daddy won't you take me

[00:00:34] Back to Muglenberg County

[00:00:36] Down by the Green River where paradise lay

[00:00:40] Well I'm sorry my child

[00:00:41] But you're too late in askin'

[00:00:44] Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:00:57] Well sometimes we traveled

[00:00:59] Right down the Green River

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

[00:01:05] Where the air smelled like snakes

[00:01:07] And we'd shoot with the pistols

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

[00:01:13] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County

[00:01:16] Down by the green river where paradise lay

[00:01:21] Well I'm sorry my child but you're too late in asking

[00:01:25] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:01:48] Then the coal company came

[00:01:49] With the world's largest shovels

[00:01:51] They tortured the timber

[00:01:52] And they stripped all the land

[00:01:55] Well they dug for the coal till

[00:01:57] The land was forsaken

[00:01:59] Then we wrote it all down as

[00:02:01] The progress of man

[00:02:03] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County

[00:02:06] Down by the green river where paradise lay

[00:02:11] Well I'm sorry my child but you're too late in asking

[00:02:15] Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:02:34] When I die let my ashes float down the Green River

[00:02:37] Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam

[00:02:41] I'll be halfway to Heaven with paradise waitin'

[00:02:45] Just five miles away from wherever I am

[00:02:49] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County

[00:02:52] Down by the green river where paradise lay

[00:02:56] Well I'm sorry my child but you're too late in asking

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

[00:03:04] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
