Karaoké Way Down Hadestown Hadestown (musical)

On the Road to Hell there was a railroad track

Oh, come on

There was a train comin' up from way down below

That was not six months

Better go and get

Better go and get your suitcase packed your suitcase packed guess it's time to go

She's gonna ride that train

She's gonna ride that train

She's gonna ride that train 'till the end of the line

'Cos the King of the Mine is coming to call

Did you ever wonder what it's like on the underside way down under

On the underside 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' way down Hadestown way down under the ground

Ah

Winter's nigh and summer's o'er

Hear that high, lonesome sound of my husband coming for to bring me home to Hadestown

Way down Hadestown

Way down Hadestown way down under the ground way down under the ground

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

Way down Hadestown

Way down Hadestown way down under the ground way down under the ground

Every little penny in the wishing well

Every little nickel on the drum

All them shiny little heads and tails where do you think they come from

Way down Hadestown way down under the ground

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

Way down Hadestown

Way down Hadestown way down under the ground way down under the ground

Ha ha ha

Yeah, Hades song

You have been, ha ha ha

Handsome men

I'm rockin', rock you

Ha ha, hey

Where is the man

Mister Hades is a mean old boss

With a silver whistle and a golden scale

An eye for an eye

A lie for a lie

And he weighs the cost

And your soul for sale

Sold

To the king on the chromium throne

Thrown

To the bottom of a Sing Sing cell

Where the little wheel squeals and the big wheel groans

And you better forget about your wishing well

Way down Hadestown

Way down Hadestown way down under the ground way down under the ground

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

You're early

I missed you

Mister Hades is a mighty king

Must be making some mighty big deals

Seems like he owns everything

Kind of makes you wonder how it feels

All aboard, hmm

A-one, a-two a-one, two, three, four

Way down Hadestown

Way down Hadestown way down under the ground way down under the ground

Way down Hadestown

Way down Hadestown way down under the ground way down under the ground

Way down under the ground

Way down under the ground

Way down under the ground

Way down under the ground
