  • LYRICS
    Dm
    Here in northeast Ohio, back in 1803
  • Cadd9 Dm
    James and Dan Heaton found the ore that was lining Yellow Creek.
    Dm
  • They built a blast furnace here along the shore,
    Cadd9 Dm
    And they made the cannonballs that helped the Union win the war.
  •  
    Cadd9
    Here in Youngstown
  • Dm
    Here in Youngstown
    F C
  • My sweet Jenny I'm sinkin' down
    Dm
    Here darlin' in Youngstown
  •  
    Well my daddy worked the furnaces, kept 'em hotter than hell
    I come home from 'Nam, worked my way to scarfer,
  • A job that'd suit the devil as well.
    Taconite coke 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
  •  
    F C
    Well, my daddy come on the Ohio works
  • Dm
    When he come home from World War Two.
    Cadd9
  • Now the yard's just scrap and rubble
    Dm
    He said "Them big boys did what Hitler couldn't do."
  • F C
    These mills they built the tanks and bombs
    Dm
  • That won this country's wars.
    Cadd9
    We sent our sons to Korea and Vietnam.
  • Dm
    Now we're wondering what they were dying for.
     
  •  
    Here in Youngstown
    Here in Youngstown
  • My sweet Jenny I'm sinkin' down
    Here darlin' in Youngstown
     
  • 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.
     
  • And Youngstown
    And Youngstown
    My sweet Jenny I'm sinkin' down
  • Here darlin' in Youngstown
     
    F C
  • When I die I don't want no part of heaven
    Dm
    I would not do heaven's work well
  • Cadd9
    I pray the devil comes and takes me to stand
    Dm
  • In the fiery furnaces of hell.
