I Said (Paradise Reprise) 歌词

When I was a boy my family would travel Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born To a lost little town there thats often remembered So many times that those memory drew warn Daddy won't you take me back to Mulingburg County Down by the green river where Paradise lay He said I'm sorry my son but your 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 and we'd shoot off pistols But empty pop bottles is all we would kill Daddy won't you take me back to Mulingburg County Down by the green river where paradise lay He said i'm sorry my son but your too late in askin' Mr. Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away Well the coal compny' came with the worlds largest shovel They tortured the timber and stripped all of the land They dug for their coal til the ground was forsaken Then wrote it all down as the Progress Of Man And daddy won't you take me back to Mulingburg County Down by the green river where Paradise lay He said I'm sorry my son but your 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 Please daddy won't you take me back to Mulingburg County Down by the green river where Paradise lay He said I'm sorry my son but your too late in askin' Mr. Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away He said I'm sorry my son but your too late in askin' Mr. Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away
