Verse 1
E
When I was a child,
A
E
my family would travel down to western Kentucky
B
E
where my parents were born.
There's a backwards old town
A
that's often remembered
B
E
that my memories are worn.
And daddy, won't you take me back
A
E
B
to Muhlenberg County
E
Down by the green river
B
E
where paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son,
A
E
but you're too late in askin'
Mr. Peabody's coal train

A
E
B
E
has hauled it away
Well, sometimes we'd travel
A
E
right down the green river
To the abandoned old prison
B
E
down by a drill
Where the air smelled like snakes
A
E
and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles
B
E
was all we would kill
Daddy, won't you take me back
A
E
to Mutenberg County
Down by the green river
B
E
where paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry, my son,
A
E
but you're too late in askin'
Mr. Peabody's core changes,
B
E
A
E
B
E
let's hold it away
B
E
Then the coal company come
A
E
with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber
B
E
and stripped all the lamb
And they dug for the coal
A
E
till the land was forsaken
They wrote it all down as
B
E
a progress man
Daddy won't you take me back
A
E
to Mutenberg County
Down by the green river
B
E
where paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry, my son,
A
E
but you're too late in askin'
B
Mr. Peabody's coach train is holdin'
E
A

away
A

B
E
Now when I die would my ashes
A
E
float down the green river
And let my soul roll on up
B
to the Rochester dam
E
I'll be half way to heaven
A
with paradise away
E
B
E
Just five miles away from wherever I am
And then won't you take me back
A
E
to Muhlenberg County
B
Down by the green river with paradise away
E
I'm sorry my son,
A
E
but you're too late in askin'
B
Mr. Peabody's court train is holdin' away
E
B
Mr. Peabody's court train is holdin'
E

away
