youngstown - blue moon rising lyrics

[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 along the shore
and 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 furnaces
kept them hotter than h*ll
i come home from ‘nam, worked my way to scarfer
a job that would suit the devil as wеll
taconite coke and limestonе
fed my children and 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

[verse 3]
well, my daddy come on the ohio works
when he come home from world war two
now the yard’s just scr*p and rubble
he said “them big boys did what hitler couldn’t do”
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 4]
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]
here in youngstown
here 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 would not do heaven’s work well
i pray the devil comes and takes me
to stand in the fiery furnaces of h*ll
