Daddy,
G
D
won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river
A
D
where paradise lay
I'm sorry, my son,
G
D
but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train
A
D
has hauled it away
When I was a child,
D
Down to western Kentucky
A
where my parents were born
D
The backwoods old town,
D
A
D
So many times that my memories are worn
So daddy won't you take me back
D
Down by the green river
A

I'm sorry my son,
G

but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train
A
D
is hauled it away
Now sometimes we'd travel
G
D
right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison
D
It's where the air smelled like snakes
G
D
And we'd shoot with our pistols
A
But empty pop bottles is all we would kill
D
Daddy, won't you take me back
D
Down by the Green River
G

but you're too late in asking
This everybody's cold
A

train is hauling away
Well the coal company came with
G

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

and they stripped all the land
And they covered their coal
G
until the land was forsaken
D
And then they wrote it all down
D
Daddy, won't you take me back
D

Down by the green river where paradise lay
G

but you're too late in askin'
Mr. Peabody's coal train
A

Now when I die,
G
D
let my ashes flow down the green river
Let my soul roll on up to
A
D
the Rochester Dam
I'll be halfway to heaven with
G
D
a paradise waitin'
A
Just five miles away from wherever I am
D
Daddy, won't you take me
G

back to Muhlenberg County
A
Down by the green river where paradise lays
G
D
but you're too late in asking
A

Mr. Peabody's coal train is hauled it away
A
Mr. Peabody's coal train is hauled it away
D
Mr. Peabody's cold chains hold it away
Thank you.
That's all my Mr. John
for now. applause
