HERMES
FolCmlow that dollar for a lFmong way down
FarCm away from the poorhouse doGor
EitCmher get to hell or to HadFmestown
AinCm't no difference anymGore
WayCm down HadFmestown
WayCm down under the ground
HouCmnd dog howl and the whiFmstle blow
CmTrain comes a-rollin' clickeGty-clack
NobCmody knows where that olFmd train goes
CmThose who go they don't comeG back
WayCm down HadFmestown
WayCm down under the ground
PERSEPHONE
WinCmter's nigh and summer'sFm o'er
CmI hear that high and lonesomGe sound
Of Cmmy husband coming fFmor
CmTo bring me home to Hadestown
WayCm down HadFmestown
WayCm down under the ground
EURYDICE
EveCmrybody dresses in clothFmes so fine
CmEverybody?s pockets are weigGhted down
EveCmrybody sipping ambrosiaFm wine
In Cma goldmine in HaGdestown
WayCm down HadFmestown
WayCm down under the ground
ORPHEUS
EveCmrybody hungry, everybodFmy tired
CmEverybody slaves by the sweaGt of his brow
TheCm wage is nothing and thFme work is hard
It'Cms a graveyard in Hadestown
WayCm down HadFmestown
WayCm down under the ground
FATES
EveCmry little penny in the Fmwishing well
CmEvery little nickel on the dGrum
AllCm them shiny little headFms and tails
CmWhere do you think they comeG from?
They come from waCmy down HaFmdestown
WayCm down under the ground
ORPHEUS & HERMES
MisCmter Hades is a mean oldFm boss
With a sCmilver whistle and a gGolden scale
An Cmeye for an eye!
And he wFmeighs the cost
A lCmie for a lie!
And your Fmsoul for sale
Sold!
ToCm the king on the chromium throne
Thrown!
To Cmthe bottom of a siGng-sing cell
Where Cmthe little wheel squeal and the big wheel groan
And you betteFmr forget about your wiGshing well
WayCm down HadFmestown
WayCm down under the ground
EURYDICE
Mr.Cm Hades is a mighty kFming
MusCmt be making some mGighty big deals
SeeCmms like he owns evFmerything
KinCmd of makes you wonder how it Gfeels
WayCm down HadFmestown
WayCm down under the ground
WayCm down HadFmestown
WayCm down under the ground
WayCm down under the ground
WayCm down under the ground
