Karaoke Track: Paradise by John Prine (Chart Buster)

SO MANY TIMES
THAT MY MEMORIES
ARE WORN
AND DADDY
WON&#39;T YOU TAKE ME
BACK TO MUHLENBERG
COUNTY

WELL I&#39;M SORRY MY SON
BUT YOU&#39;RE TOO LATE
IN ASKIN&#39;
MISTER PEABODY&#39;S
COAL TRAIN
HAS HAULED IT AWAY

WELL SOMETIMES
WE&#39;D TRAVEL
RIGHT DOWN

THE GREEN RIVER

TO THE ABANDONED
OLD PRISON
DOWN BY ADRIE HILL

WHERE THE AIR
SMELLED LIKE SNAKES
AND WE&#39;D SHOOT
WITH OUR PISTOLS
BUT EMPTY POP BOTTLES
WAS ALL
WE WOULD KILL

AND DADDY
WON&#39;T YOU TAKE ME
BACK TO MUHLENBERG
COUNTY
DOWN BY
THE GREEN RIVER
WHERE PARADISE LAYS

WELL I&#39;M SORRY MY SON
BUT YOU&#39;RE TOO LATE
IN ASKIN&#39;
MISTER PEABODY&#39;S
COAL TRAIN
HAS HAULED IT AWAY

20 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL

BREAK

THEN THE COAL
COMPANY CAME
WTH THE WORLD&#39;S
LARGEST SHOVEL

AND DADDY
WON&#39;T YOU TAKE ME
BACK TO MUHLENBERG

COUNTY
DOWN BY
THE GREEN RIVER
WHERE PARADISE LAYS

WELL I&#39;M SORRY MY SON
BUT YOU&#39;RE TOO LATE
IN ASKIN&#39;
MISTER PEABODY&#39;S
COAL TRAIN
HAS HAULED IT AWAY

WHEN I DIE
LET MY ASHES

FLOAT DOWN
THE GREEN RIVER

I&#39;LL BE HALFWAY
T0 HEAVEN
WITH PARADISE WAITIN&#39;
JUST FIVE MILES AWAY
FROM VVHEREVER I AM

AND DADDY
WON&#39;T YOU TAKE ME
BACK TO MUHLENBERG
COUNTY
DOWN BY
THE GREEN RIVER
WHERE PARADISE LAYS

WELL I&#39;M SORRY MY SON
BUT YOU&#39;RE TOO LATE
IN ASKIN&#39;
MISTER PEABODY&#39;S
COAL TRAIN
HAS HAULED IT AWAY
