《Paradise》歌词

[00:00:00] Paradise - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)

[00:00:01] Written by：John Prine

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

[00:00:07] Down to western Kentucky where my parents were born

[00:00:12] There's a backwards old town that's often remembered

[00:00:17] So many times that my mem'ries are worn

[00:00:21] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County

[00:00:25] Down by the Green River where Paradise lay

[00:00:30] Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking

[00:00:34] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:00:39] Well sometimes we'd 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 we'd shoot with our pistols

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

[00:00:57] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County

[00:01:01] Down by the Green River where Paradise lay

[00:01:05] Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking

[00:01:09] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:01:15] The coal company came with the world's largest shovel

[00:01:18] 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] They wrote it all down as the progress of man

[00:01:32] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County

[00:01:35] Down by the Green River where Paradise lay

[00:01:40] Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking

[00:01:44] Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[00:01:50] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County

[00:01:53] Down by the Green River where Paradise lay

[00:01:58] Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking

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