D G D
When I was a child my family would travel
A7 D
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
G D
And there's a backward old town that's often remembered
A7 D
So many times that my mem'ries are worn
D G D
And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
A7 D
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
G D
Well, I'm sorry my son, but your too late in askin'
A7 D
Mister Peabody's train has hauled it away
D G D
Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
A7 D
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
G D
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our
A7 D
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill
D G D
And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
A7 D
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
G D
Well, I'm sorry my son, but your too late in askin'
A7 D
Mister Peabody's train has hauled it away
D G D
The coal company came with the world's largest shovel
A7 D
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
G D
Well, they dug for the coal 'till the land was forsaken
A7 D
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man
