has hauled it away
Well, sometimes we'd travel
C

right down the green river
To the abandoned old prison
D

down by a drill
Where the air smelled like snakes
C

and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles

was all we would kill
Daddy, won't you take me back
C
G
to Mutenberg County
Down by the green river
D

where paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry, my son,

Then the coal company come

with the world's largest shovel

till the land was forsaken
They wrote it all down as
D

a progress man
Daddy won't you take me back

to Mutenberg County
Down by the green river

where paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry, my son,

with paradise away
G

Just five miles away from wherever I am
And then won't you take me back
C

to Muhlenberg County
D
Down by the green river with paradise away
G
I'm sorry my son,
C
G
but you're too late in askin'

Mr. Peabody's court train is holdin' away
