[HERMES]
EmHow to get to Hadestown
CYou’ll have to take the long way down through the underground
GUndercover of night
DLaying low staying out of sight,
Ain’t no comEmpass brother ain’t no map
Just a tCelephone wire and a railroad track
GKeep on walking and don’t look back
‘Til you gDet to the bottom land
[ORPHEUS]
WaiEmt for mCe, I’m GcomingD  
WaiEmt I’m cComing wGith yoDu
WaiEmt for mCe, I’m Gcoming Dtoo
I’m Emcoming
[HERMES]
The River Styx is high and wide
CCinder bricks and razor wire
GWalls of iron and concrete
DHound dogs howling 'round the gate
Those Emdogs’ll lay down and play dead
If you Cgot the bones, if you got the bread
But if Gall you got is your own two legs
DJust be glad you got ’em
[ORPHEUS]
WEmait for Cme, I’Gm comiDng
WaiEmt I’m cComing wGith yoDu
WaiEmt for mCe, I’m Gcoming Dtoo
I’m Emcoming
[FATES]
Esus4Who are you?
Where do you think you’re going?
DWho are you?
Why are you all alone?
Esus4Who do you think you are?
EmWho are you to think that
You could walk the road
That no one ever walked before
[ORPHEUS]

[HERMES]
EmYou’re on the lam, you’re on the run
CDon’t give your name, you don’t have one
And Gdon’t look no one in the eye
This Dtown will try to suck you dry
They’ll Emsuck your brain,
They’ll suck your breath
They’ll Cpluck the heart right out your chest
They’ll Gtruss you up in your Sunday best
And Dstuff your mouth with cotton
[ORPHEUS]
WaiEmt for mCe, I’m GcomingD  
WaiEmt I’m cComing wGith yoDu
WaiEmt for mCe, I’m Gcoming Dtoo
I’m Emcoming
EmI’m coming wait for me
CI hear the walls repeating
DThe falling of my feet and
It sounds like drumming!
EmAnd I am not alone
CI hear the rocks and stones
DEchoing my song…
I’m coming!
