Muhlenberg County (Aka: Paradise) - Roy Acuff

Cried the dying thief upon the tree

The savior raised his thorn-crowned head

And to the dying thief, he said

«Today, in paradise, you will be

Because I have remembered thee»

Today I cry «Remember me»

As did the thief upon the tree

O Lord, what will your verdict be?

Will you, in mercy, say to me

«Today, in paradise, you will be

Because I have remembered thee»?

Oh sinner, cry «Remember me»

As did the thief upon the tree

This moment may your last one be

Then he could never say to thee

«Today, in paradise, you will be

Because I have remembered thee»
