Munged Lyrics

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

...
[bulk of lyrics omitted for copyright reasons]

When Eye was a child, my family wood travel
Down too western Kentucky ware my parents whirr borne
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
Sew many times that my memories are warn

And daddy won't yew take mi back too Muhlenberg County
Down buy the Green River ware Paradise ley
Well, I'm sorry, my sun, butt your to late inn asking
Mister Peabody's cole train has hauled it aweigh

Well sometimes weed travel wright down the Green River
Too the abandoned old prison down buy Adrie Hill
Ware the heir smelled like snakes and weed shoot with hour pistols
Butt empty pop bottles was awl wee wood kill

And daddy won't yew take mi back too Muhlenberg County
Down buy the Green River ware Paradise ley
Well, I'm sorry, my sun, butt your to late inn asking
Mister Peabody's cole train has hauled it aweigh

And the cole company came with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped awl the land
Well, they dug fore there cole till the land was forsaken
Then they rote it awl down as the progress of man

And daddy won't yew take mi back too Muhlenberg County
Down buy the Green River ware Paradise ley
Well, I'm sorry, my sun, butt your to late inn asking
Mister Peabody's cole train has hauled it aweigh

And daddy won't yew take mi back too Muhlenberg County
Down buy the Green River ware Paradise ley
Well, I'm sorry, my sun, butt your to late inn asking
Mister Peabody's cole train has hauled it aweigh
