Lyrics by：John Prine

Composed by：John Prine

When I was a child my family would travel
童年时家人常带我远行
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
前往父母故乡肯塔基西部
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
有个陈旧小镇总萦绕心头
So many times that my memories are worn
回忆太多次已渐渐模糊
And Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
爸爸带我回穆伦伯格县吧
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
去绿河畔的乐园所在
Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
孩子啊现在为时已晚
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
皮博迪的煤车已将它带走
Well sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
有时我们会沿着绿河一路漫游
To the abandoned old prison down by Airdrie Hill
来到艾尔德里山旁废弃的旧监狱
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
空气中弥漫着蛇的气息 我们举着手枪射击
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill
却只能击碎那些空汽水瓶
And Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
爸爸带我回穆伦伯格县吧
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
去绿河畔的乐园所在
Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
孩子啊现在为时已晚
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
皮博迪的煤车已将它带走
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
随后煤矿公司带着巨型铲车而来
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
他们摧残林木 将大地剥蚀殆尽
Well they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
他们挖掘煤矿直至土地荒芜
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man
却将这一切记录为人类进步的足迹
And Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
爸爸带我回穆伦伯格县吧
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
去绿河畔的乐园所在
Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
孩子啊现在为时已晚
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
皮博迪的煤车已将它带走
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
当我死去 请让骨灰飘落绿河
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
让灵魂溯流而上至罗切斯特水坝
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
我将抵达天堂门前的乐园
Just five miles away from wherever I am
离我所在仅五英里之遥
And Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
爸爸带我回穆伦伯格县吧
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
去绿河畔的乐园所在
Well I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
孩子啊现在为时已晚
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
皮博迪的煤车已将它带走
