Текст песни John Denver - Paradise
John Denver - Paradise слова песни
When I was a child, my family would travelDown to western Kentucky where my parents were bornThere`s a backwards old town that`s often rememberedSo many times that the 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 Mister Peabody`s coal train has hauled it awaySometimes we`d travel right down the Green RiverTo the abandoned old prison down by Adrie HillWhere the air smelled like snakesAnd we`d shoot with our pistolsBut 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 Mister Peabody`s coal train has hauled it awayThe coal company came with the world`s largest shovelAnd they tortured the timber and stripped all the landAnd they dug for their coal `til the land was forsakenThey 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 Mister Peabody`s coal train has hauled it away 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 Mister Peabody`s coal train has hauled it away
