HERMES
On the road to hell there was a railroad track
PERSEPHONE, spoken
Aw, come on!
HERMES
And a train coming up from way down below
PERSEPHONE, spoken
That was not six months!
HERMES
Better go and get your suitcase packed
Guess it's time to go
Follow that dollar for a long way down
Far away from the poorhouse door
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
Nobody knows where that old train goes
Those who go they don’t come back
They go
COMPANY
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground
PERSEPHONE
Winter’s nigh and summer’s o’er
Hear that high and 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 m******e in the 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
Everybody dresses in clothes so fine
Everybody’s pockets are weighted down
Everybody's sipping ambrosia wine
EURYDICE
In a goldmine in Hadestown
COMPANY
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground
ORPHEUS
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
FATES
Every little penny in the wishing well
Every little nickel on the drum
PERSEPHONE
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
ORPHEUS
Mr. Hades is a mean old boss
HERMES
With a silver whistle and a golden scale
FATES
An eye for an eye!
HERMES
And he weighs the cost
FATES
A lie for a lie!
HERMES
FATES
Sold!
ORPHEUS
To the king on the chromium throne
FATES
Thrown!
ORPHEUS
To the bottom of a Sing Sing cell
HERMES
Where the little wheel squeals and the big wheel groans
ORPHEUS
And you better forget about your wishing well
COMPANY
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground
HERMES
And 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 singing 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...
One, 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
