my family would travel down to western Kentucky

has hauled it away
Well, sometimes we'd travel
Ab
Eb
right down the green river
To the abandoned old prison
Bb
Eb
down by a drill
Where the air smelled like snakes
Ab
Eb
and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles
Bb
Eb
was all we would kill
Daddy, won't you take me back
Ab
Eb
to Mutenberg County
Down by the green river
Bb
Eb
where paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry, my son,

but you're too late in askin'
Mr. Peabody's core changes,

let's hold it away

Then the coal company come
Ab

with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber

and stripped all the lamb
And they dug for the coal
Ab
Eb
till the land was forsaken
They wrote it all down as
Bb
Eb
a progress man
Daddy won't you take me back
Ab
Eb
to Mutenberg County
Down by the green river
Bb

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

And let my soul roll on up

Just five miles away from wherever I am
And then won't you take me back
Ab
Eb
to Muhlenberg County
Bb
Down by the green river with paradise away
Ab

but you're too late in askin'
Bb
Mr. Peabody's court train is holdin' away
