HERMES
AmOn the road to hell there was a raDmilroad track
PERSEPHONE
OAmh come on
HERMES
AAmnd a train coming out from wEay down below
PERSEPHONE
TAmhat was not six months
HERMES
BAmetter go an get your suiDmtcase packed
GuAmess its time to Ego
FolAmlow that dollar for a lDmong way down
Far Amaway from the Epoorhouse door
EitAmher get to hell or to DmHadestown
AinAm't no difference anymEore
Way Amdown HadDmestown
Way Amdown Eunder the Amground
HouAmnd dog howl and the whiDmstle blow
AmTrain comes a-rollin' Eclickety-clack
AmNobody knows where that Dmold train goes
AmThose who go they Edon't come back
AmWay down DmHadestown
AmWay down Eunder the Amground
PERSEPHONE
AmWinter's nigh and Dmsummer's o'er
AmI hear that high and Elonesome sound
AmOf my husband cDmoming for
AmTo bring me home to EHadestown
AmWay down DmHadestown
AmWay down Eunder the Amground
AmDown there, it's a bDmunch of stiffs
BrAmother I'll be boEred to death
GoAmnna have to iDmmport some stuff
JuAmst to entertaiEn myself
GiAmve me morphine iDmn a tin
GiAmve me a crate of the frEuit of the vine
TaAmkes alot of mediDmcine to make it thAmrough the winter Etime
WAmay down HadDmestown
WAmay down unEder the gAmround
FATES
AmEverybody dresses in Dmclothes so fine
AmEverybody?s pockets are Eweighted down
AmEverybody sipping amDmbrosia wine
In a Amgoldmine in HEadestown
AmWay down DmHadestown
AmWay down Eunder the Amground
ORPHEUS
AmEverybody hungry, Dmeverybody tired
AmEverybody slaves by the sEweat of his brow
AmThe wage is nothing and the Dmwork is hard
AmIt's a graveyard in EHadestown
AmWay down DmHadestown
AmWay down Eunder the Amground
FATES
AmEvery little penny in the Dmwishing well
AmEvery little nickel on the dErum
AmAll them shiny Dmlittle heads and tails
AmWhere do you think they come Efrom?
They come from Amway down DmHadestown
Way Amdown Eunder the Amground
ORPHEUS & HERMES
AmMister Hades is a Dmmean old boss
With a sAmilver whistle and a gEolden scale
An Ameye for an eye!
And he wDmeighs the cost
A lAmie for a lie!
And your Esoul for sale
Sold!
To Amthe king on the Dmchromium throne
Thrown!
To Amthe bottom of a siEng-sing cell
Where Amthe little wheel squeal and the Dmbig wheel groan
And you Ambetter forget about your Ewishing well
AmWay down DmHadestown
AmWay down Eunder the Amground
HERMES
OAmn the road to hell there was a raDmilroad cart
AAmnd the cart doors opened and a mEan stepped out
EvAmerybody looked and eveDmrybody saw
IAmt was the same man they'ed been siEnging about
PERSEPHONE
YoAmu're early
HADES
I Ammissed you
FATES
AmMr. Hades is a Dmmighty king
MusAmt be making some mEighty big deals
SeeAmms like he owns evDmerything
EURYDICE

AmWay down Eunder the Amground
Way Amdown HadDmestown
AmWay down Eunder the Amground
AmWay down Eunder the Amground
