Lyrics by：Anaïs Mitchell

How to get to hadestown

You have to take the long way down

Through the underground under cover of night

Layin' low stayin' out of sight

Ain't no compass brother ain't no map

Just a telephone wire and a railroad track

Keep on walkin' and don't look back

'Til you get to the bottomland

Wait for me I'm comin'

Wait I'm comin' with you

Wait for me I'm comin' too

I'm coming too

The river styx is high and wide

Cinder bricks and razor wire

Walls of iron and concrete

Hound dogs howling 'round the gate

Those dogs'll lay down and play dead

If you got the bones if you got the bread

But if all you got is your own two legs

Just be glad you got 'em

Wait for me I'm comin'

Wait I'm comin' with you

Wait for me I'm comin' too

I'm coming too

Who are you

Where do you think you're going

Who are you

Why are you all alone

Who do you-think you are

Who are you-to think that you can walk

A road that no one ever walked before

La la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la

You're on the lam you're on the run

Don't give your name you don't have one

And don't look no one in the eye

That town'll try to suck you dry

They'll suck your brain they'll suck your breath

They'll pluck the heart right out your chest

They'll truss you up in your sunday best

And stuff your mouth with cotton

Wait for me I'm coming I'm coming I'm coming

Wait I'm coming with you I'm coming

Wait wait I'm coming for me I'm coming too

I'm coming

Wait

I'm coming wait for me

Wait

I hear the walls repeating

Wait

The falling of my feet and

It sounds like drumming

Wait

And I am not alone

Wait

I hear the rocks and stones

Wait

Echoing my song

I'm coming

Coming

Coming
