"I Said" (Paradise Reprise) |
When I was a boy my family would travel |
Inta' Western Kentucky where my parents were born |
To a lost little town there thats often remembered |
So many times that my memory drew warn |
And daddy won’t ya take me back to Mulingburg County |
Down by the green river where Paradise lay |
He said I’m sorry my son but yer too late in askin' |
Mr. Peabodys' coal trains hauled it away |
Well sometimes we travel right down the green river |
To the abandoned old prison down by Gadry Hill |
Where the air smelled like snakes an' we’d shoot off pistols |
Ahh but empty pop bottles is all we would kill |
And daddy won’t ya take me back to Mulingburg County |
Down by the green river where paradise lay |
He said i’m sorry my son but yer too late in askin' |
Mr. Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away |
Welll the coal compny' came with the worlds largest shovel |
They tortured the timber and stripped all of the land |
Lord they dug for their coal til the ground was forsaken |
Then wrote it all down as a the Progress Of Man |
So daddy won’t ya take me back to Mulingburg County |
Down by the green river where Paradise lay |
He said I’m sorry my son but yer too late in askin' |
Mr. Peabodys' coal trains hauled it away |
When I die let my ashes float down the green river |
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam |
I’ll be halfway to heaven with Paradise waitin' |
Just 5 miles away from wherever I am |
Ohhh… and daddy won’t ya take me back to Mulingburg County |
Down by the green river where Paradise lay |
He said I’m sorry my son but yer too late in askin' |
Mr. Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away |
He said I’m sorry my son but yer too late in askin' |
Mr. Peabodys coal train has hauled it away |
Oh Mr. Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away |
