Paradise
When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
There's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn.
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
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.
Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.
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
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.
Hey!
Then the coal company came with the world's 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, 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
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.
When I die, let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am.
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
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.

Тумба-Буги (дуэт с Георгием Делиевым)
Ты сделал ошибку во мне, пробудив ураганы, Цунами и бури все чувства сметают с пути, Любовь убежала, спасаясь, оставив усталость, Расставлены точки, завязаны крепко узлы. Сама разжигаешь костры, и огонь раздуваешь, Упреки, намеки обидны и

Бедная Собачка
Бедная собачка, бедная собачка, поджимает хвост, Наступает ночь. Рядом только ветер, рядом только ветер, и мороз, Чем тебе помочь? Трудно одному, не нужным никому. А в домах горит огонь. И всего-то надо с тем, кто любит,
