Lyrics:
When I was a boy, my family would travel
Down to western Kentucky where my parents were born
To a lost little town there thats all but remembered
So many times that my memories are worn.
Chorus:
And, Daddy, wont you take me back to Muhlenberg County?
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay?
He said, Im sorry my son, but youre too late in asking
Mr. Peabodys coal train has hauled it away.
Well, sometimes wed travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Aidrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes & wed shoot our pistols
Ooh, but empty pop bottles is all we would kill.
Chorus:
And, Daddy, wont you take me back to Muhlenberg County?
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay?
He said, Im sorry my son, but youre too late in asking
Mr. Peabodys coal train has hauled it away.
Well, the coal company came with the, worlds largest shovel,
They tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Lord, they dug for their coal til the ground was forsaken
And wrote it all down as the, Progress of man.
Chorus:
And, Daddy, wont you take me back to Muhlenberg County?
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay?
He said, Im sorry my son, but youre too late in asking
Mr. Peabodys 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
Ill be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin
Just 5 miles away from wherever I am...
