Paradise - Johnny Cash
Daddy won't you take me
back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River
where Paradise lay

I'm sorry, my son,
but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train
done hauled it away

When I was a child,
my family would travel
Down to western Kentucky where
my parents were born

To a backwards old town
that I've often remembered
So many times that my mem'ries are worn

And sometimes we'd travel right
down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison
down by Adrian's Hill

Where the air smelled like snakes
and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles
was all we would kill

So daddy won't you take me
back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green
River where Paradise lay

I'm sorry, my son,
but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal
train done hauled it away

And the coal company came
with the world's largest shovel
They stripped all the timber
and tortured the land

they dug for the coal till the
land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down
to the progress of man

Oh daddy won't you take me
back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River
where Paradise lay

I'm sorry, my son,
but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train
done hauled it away

When I die let my ashes float
down the Green River
let my soul roll on up to
the Rochester Dam

I'll be halfway to Heaven
with Paradise waitin'
Five miles away from
where ever I am

Oh daddy won't you take me
back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green
River where Paradise lay

I'm sorry, my son,
but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train
done hauled it away
