lirik lagu youngstown (apple music sessions) – charles wesley godwin
[verse 1]
here in northeast ohio
back in 1803
james and dan heaton found the ore
that was lining yellow creek
they built a blast furnace
here on the shore
then they made the cannonb*lls
that helped the union win the war
[chorus]
here in youngstown
here in youngstown
my sweet jenny, i’m sinking down
here, darling, in youngstown
[verse 2]
well, my daddy worked the furnace
kept ’em hotter than h*ll
i come home from ‘nam, worked my way to scarfer
a job that’d suit the dеvil as well
taconite coke and limеstone
fed my children, made my pay
them smokestacks reaching like the arms of god
into a beautiful sky of soot and clay
[chorus]
here in youngstown
here in youngstown
my sweet jenny, i’m sinking down
here, darling, in youngstown
[bridge]
well, my daddy come on the ohio works
when he come home from world war ii
now the yard’s just scr*p and metal
them big boys did what hitler couldn’t do
and these mills, they built the tanks and bombs
that won this country’s wars
we sent our sons to korea and vietnam
now we’re wondering what they were dying for
[chorus]
here in youngstown
here in youngstown
my sweet jenny, i’m sinking down
here, darling, in youngstown
[verse 3]
from the monongahela valley
to the mesabi iron range
to the coal mines of appalachia
the story’s always the same
seven*hundred tons of metal a day
now, sir, you tell me the world’s changed
once i made you rich enough
rich enough to forget my name
[chorus]
in youngstown
in youngstown
my sweet jenny, i’m sinking down
here, darling, in youngstown
[outro]
when i die, i don’t want no part of heaven
i will not do heaven’s work well
i pray the devil comes and takes me to stand
in the fiery furnaces of h*ll
