|  | Текст (слова) песни: John Prine -  Paradise
 When I was a child my family would travel
 
 Down to western kentucky where my parents were born
 
 And theres a backwards old town thats often 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
 
 Well, Im sorry my son, but youre too late in asking
 
 Mister peabodys coal train has hauled it away
 
 Well, sometimes wed travel right down the green river
 
 To the abandoned old prison down by adrie hill
 
 Where the air smelled like snakes and wed shoot with our pistols
 
 But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.
 
 Repeat chorus:
 
 Then the coal company came with the worlds 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.
 
 Repeat chorus:
 
 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 five miles away from wherever I am.
 
 Repeat chorus:
