The coal company came with the world's largest shovel

And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land

And they dug for their coal 'til the land was forsaken

They wrote it all down as the progress of man

And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County

Down by the Green River where Paradise lay

Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking

Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

from Paradise, Words & Music by John Prine, Sung by John Denver from Rocky Mountain High (1972) Copyright 1971 by Cotillion Music, Inc.
