[HERMES] On the road to hell there was a railroad track
[PERSEPHONE, spoken] Oh, come on!
[HERMES] There was a train comin' up from way down below
[PERSEPHONE, spoken] That was not six months!
[FATES] Better go and get your suitcase packed, guess it's time to go
[HERMES] She's gonna ride that train
[COMPANY] Ride that train
[HERMES] She's gonna ride that train
[COMPANY] Ride that train!
[HERMES] She's gonna ride that train 'til the end of the line 'Cause the King of the Mine is coming to call Did you ever wonder what it's like on the underside?
[COMPANY] Way down under
[HERMES] On the yonder side?
[COMPANY] Way down yonder
[HERMES] On the other side of his wall Follow that dollar for a long way down Far away from the poorhouse door You either get to hell or to Hadestown Ain’t no difference anymore! Way down Hadestown Way down under the ground
Hound dog howl and the whistle blow Train come a-rollin, clickety-clack Everybody tryin' to get a ticket to go But those who go, they don’t come back They goin'
[HERMES and COMPANY] Way down Hadestown Way down under the ground
[HERMES, spoken] Ha!
[PERSEPHONE] Winter's nigh and summer's o'er Hear that high, lonesome sound Of my husband coming for To bring me home to Hadestown
[COMPANY] Way down Hadestown Way down under the ground
[PERSEPHONE] Down there, it's a bunch of stiffs Brother, I'll be bored to death Gonna have to import some stuff Just to entertain myself Give me morphine in a tin Give me a crate of the fruit of the vine Takes a lot of medicine To make it through the wintertime
[COMPANY] Way down Hadestown Way down under the ground
[FATES] Every little penny in the wishing well Every little nickel on the drum
[COMPANY] On the drum!
[FATES] All them shiny little heads and tails Where do you think they come from? They come from
[COMPANY] Way down Hadestown Way down under the ground
[HERMES] Everybody hungry Everybody tired Everybody slaves by the sweat of his brow The wage is nothing and the work is hard It's a graveyard in Hadestown
[COMPANY] Way down Hadestown Way down under the ground
[HERMES] Mr. Hades is a mean old boss
[PERSEPHONE] With a silver whistle and a golden scale
[COMPANY] An eye for an eye!
[HERMES] And he weighs the cost
[COMPANY] A lie for a lie!
[HERMES] And your soul for sale
[COMPANY] Sold!
[PERSEPHONE] To the king on the chromium throne
[COMPANY] Thrown!
[PERSEPHONE] To the bottom of a Sing Sing cell
[HERMES] Where the little wheel squeals and the big wheel groans
[PERSEPHONE] And you better forget about your wishing well
[COMPANY] Way down Hadestown Way down under the ground
[HERMES, spoken] On the road to hell, there was a railroad car And the car door opened and a man stepped out Everybody looked and everybody saw It was the same man they'd been singin' about
[PERSEPHONE, spoken] You're early!
[HADES, spoken] I missed you.
[FATES] Mr. Hades is a mighty king Must be making some mighty big deals Seems like he owns everything
[EURYDICE] Kind of makes you wonder how it feels...
[HERMES] All aboard... A-one, a-two A-one, two, three, four
[COMPANY] Way down Hadestown Way down under the ground Way down Hadestown Way down under the ground Way down under the ground Way down under the ground!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
