When I was a child my family would travel
Down to western Kentucky
Where my parents were born
And there's a backwards old town
That's often remembered
So many times that my mem'ries are worn
And daddy won't you take me
Back to Muglenberg County
Down by the Green River where paradise lay
Well I'm sorry my child
But you're too late in askin'
Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
Well sometimes we traveled
Right down the Green River
By the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes
And we'd shoot with the pistols
But 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 child but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
Then the coal company came
With the world's largest shovels
They tortured the timber
And they stripped all the land
Well they dug for the coal till
The land was forsaken
Then we 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 child but you're too late in asking
Mr Peabody's coal train has 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 five miles away from wherever I am
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay
Well I'm sorry my child but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
