Paradise - John Fogerty
Written by：John Prine

When I was a child my family would travel

Down to western Kentucky where my parents were born

There's a backwards old town that's often remembered

So many times that my memories are worn

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg county
Down by the green river where paradise lay

Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

Well sometimes we'd travel right down the green river
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie hill

Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols

But empty pop bottles was all we would kill

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg county
Down by the green river where paradise lay

Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

Hey

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

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

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg county
Down by the green river where paradise lay

Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
Mr Peabody's coal train has 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 waiting
Just five miles away from wherever I am

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg county
Down by the green river where paradise lay

Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
