This song was first released on the rocky mountain high album. it is the only album it has been released on. 
 
When I was a child, my family would travel 
Down to western kentucky where my parents were born 
And theres a backwards old town thats often remembered 
So many times that my memries are worn 
 
And daddy wont you take me back to muhlenberg county 
Down by the green river where paradise lay 
Well, Im sorry, my son, but youre too late in asking 
Mister peabodys coal train has hauled it away 
 
Well sometimes wed travel right down the green river 
To the abandoned old prison down by adrie hill 
Where the air smelled like snakes and wed shoot with our pistols 
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill 
 
And daddy wont you take me back to muhlenberg county 
Down by the green river where paradise lay 
Well, Im sorry, my son, but youre too late in asking 
Mister peabodys coal train has hauled it away 
 
And the coal company came with the worlds largest shovel 
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land 
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken 
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man 
 
And daddy wont you take me back to muhlenberg county 
Down by the green river where paradise lay 
Well, Im sorry, my son, but youre too late in asking 
Mister peabodys coal train has hauled it away 
 
And daddy wont you take me back to muhlenberg county 
Down by the green river where paradise lay 
Well, Im sorry, my son, but youre too late in asking 
Mister peabodys coal train has hauled it away
