Current song lyrics
When I was a child my family would travel<br />Down to western Kentucky where my parents were born<br />And there?s a backwards old town that?s often remembered<br />So many times that my memories are worn<br /><br />And Daddy, won?t you take me back to Muhlenberg County<br />Down by the Green River where Paradise lay<br />Well, I?m sorry, my son, but you?re too late in askin?<br />Mister Peabody?s coal train has hauled it away<br /><br />Well, sometimes we?d travel right down the Green River<br />To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill<br />Where the air smelled like snakes and we?d shoot with our pistols<br />But empty pop bottles was all we would kill<br /><br />And Daddy, won?t you take me back to Muhlenberg County<br />Down by the Green River where Paradise lay<br />Well, I?m sorry, my son, but you?re too late in askin?<br />Mister Peabody?s coal train has hauled it away<br /><br />Then the coal company came with the world?s largest shovel<br />And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land<br />Well, they dug for their coal til the land was forsaken<br />Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man<br /><br />And Daddy, won?t you take me back to Muhlenberg County<br />Down by the Green River where Paradise lay<br />Well, I?m sorry, my son, but you?re too late in askin?<br />Mister Peabody?s coal train has hauled it away<br /><br />When I die let my ashes float down the Green River<br />Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam<br />I?ll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin?<br />Just five miles away from wherever I am<br /><br />And Daddy, won?t you take me back to Muhlenberg County<br />Down by the Green River where Paradise lay<br />Well, I?m sorry, my son, but you?re too late in askin?<br />Mister Peabody?s coal train has hauled it away
