Текст песни Lynn Anderson - Paradise
Lynn Anderson - Paradise слова песни
When I was a child my family would travelDown to western Kentucky where my parents were bornAnd there`s a backwards old town that`s often rememberedSo many times that my mem`ries are wornAnd daddy won`t you take me back to Muglenberg CountyDown by the Green River where paradise layWell I`m sorry my child but you`re too late in askin`Mr Peabody`s coal train has hauled it away[ fiddle ]Well sometimes we traveled right down the Green RiverBy the abandoned old prison down by Adrie HillWhere the air smelled like snakes and we`d shoot with the pistolsBut empty pop bottles was all we would killAnd daddy won`t you take me back...[ steel ]Then the coal company came with the world`s largest shovelsThey tortured the timber and they stripped all the landWell they dug for the coal till the land was forsakenThen we wrote it all down as the progress of manAnd daddy won`t you take me back...Mr Peabody`s coal train has hauled it away
