Luyện nghe bài hát Paradise

When I was a child my family would
Down to Western where my parents were born
And there's a backwards old town often remembered
So times that my memories are worn

"And won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green where paradise lay?"
"Well, I'm my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister coal train has hauled it away"

Well, sometimes travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie
Where the air smelled like snakes and shoot with our pistols
But empty pop was all we would kill

"And daddy won't you take me back to County
Down by the green where paradise lay?"
"Well, I'm sorry my son, but too late in asking
Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"

Then the coal company came with the world's shovel
And they tortured the timber and all the land
Well, they dug for their till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all as the progress of man

"And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg
Down by the green river where lay?"
"Well, I'm sorry my son, but too late in asking
Mister coal train has hauled it away"

When I die let my ashes float the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with paradise
Just miles away from wherever I am

"And daddy won't you me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where lay?"
"Well, I'm sorry my son, but too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal has hauled it away"
