here in northeast ohio
back in eighteen-o-three
james and dan heaton found the ore that was linin’ yellow creek
they built a blast furnacehere along the sh-r-
and they made the cannonb-lls
that helped the union win the war
here in youngstown
here in youngstown
my sweet jenny i’m sinkin’ down
here darlin’ in youngstown
well my daddy worked the furnaces
kept ’em hotter than h-ll
i come home from ‘nam worked my way to scarfer
a job that’d suit the devil as well
taconite c-ke and limestone
fed my children and made my pay
them smokestacks reachin’ like the arms of god
into a beautiful sky of soot and clay
here in youngstown
here in youngstown
my sweet jenny i’m sinkin’ down
here darlin’ in youngstown

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 dyin’ for
here in youngstown
here in youngstown
my sweet jenny i’m sinkin’ down
here darlin’in youngstown
here in youngstown

from the monongahela valley
to the mesabi iron range
to the coal mines of appalachia
the story’s always the same
700 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
and youngstown
and youngstown
my sweet jenny i’m sinkin’ down
here darlin’ in youngstown

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
