1
Here in north east Ohio
2
Back in eighteen-o-three
3
James and Danny Heaton
4
Found the ore that was linin' yellow creek
5
They built a blast furnace
6
Here along the shore
7
And they made the cannon balls
8
That helped the union win the war
9
Here in Youngstown
10
Here in Youngstown
11
My sweet Jenny, I'm sinkin' down
12
Here darlin' in Youngstown
13
Well my daddy worked the furnaces
14
Kept 'em hotter than hell
15
I come home from 'Nam worked my way to scarfer
16
A job that'd suit the devil as well
17
Taconite, coke and limestone
18
Fed my children and made my pay
19
Then smokestacks reachin' like the arms of god
20
Into a beautiful sky of soot and clay
21
Here in Youngstown
22
Here in Youngstown
23
My sweet Jenny, I'm sinkin' down
24
Here darlin' in Youngstown
25
Well my daddy come on the 0hio works
26
When he come home from world war two
27
Now the yards just scrap and rubble
28
He said, "Them big boys did what Hitler couldn't do"
29
These mills they built the tanks and bombs
30
That won this country's wars
31
We sent our sons to Korea and Vietnam
32
Now we're wondering what they were dyin' for
33
Here in Youngstown
34
Here in Youngstown
35
My sweet Jenny, I'm sinkin' down
36
Here darlin' in Youngstown
37
From the Monongaleh valley
38
To the Mesabi iron range
39
To the coal mines of Appalacchia
40
The story's always the same
41
Seven-hundred tons of metal a day
42
Now sir you tell me the world's changed
43
Once I made you rich enough
44
Rich enough to forget my name
45
In Youngstown
46
In Youngstown
47
My sweet Jenny, I'm sinkin' down
48
Here darlin' in Youngstown
49
When I die I don't want no part of heaven
50
I would not do heavens work well
51
I pray the devil comes and takes me
52
To stand in the fiery furnaces of hell
