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:
