When I was a child,
A

my family would travel down
A
E
A
to western Kentucky
E
B
E
where my parents were born.
And there's a backwards old town
A
that's often remembered
E
B
So many times that my memories
E
A
E
are warm
Daddy, won't you take me back
A
E
to Muhlenberg 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 asking
B
E
Mr. Peabody's coal train, hold it away
Well, sometimes we'd travel
A
E
right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison
B
E
down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes
A
E
and we'd shoot with our pistol
But empty pop bottles
B
E
were all we could kill
And daddy won't you take me back
A
E
to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river
B
E
where paradise lays
Well, I'm sorry, my son,
A
E
but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's cold strain
B
E
A
hauled it away Brian

Then the coal company came with
A
the world's largest shovel
E
They tortured the timber
B
E
and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal
A
E
till the land was forsaken
Then wrote it all down as
B
E
the progress of man
And when I die,
A
let my ashes float down the Green River
E
B
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
E
I'll be halfway to heaven
A
E
with paradise waiting
B
E
Just five miles away from wherever I am
So daddy won't you take me back
A
E
to Muhlenberg 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 asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train
B

hauled it away
Well, I'm sorry my son,
A
E
but you're too late in asking
B
Mr. Peabody's coal train, haul it away
