[00:23.59] | Here in north east Ohio |
[00:27.69] | Back in 1803 |
[00:30.62] | James and Danny |
[00:33.76] | Found the ore that was linin’ yellow creek |
[00:37.42] | They built a blast furnace |
[00:40.60] | Here along the shore |
[00:44.07] | And they made the cannon balls |
[00:47.44] | That helped the union win the war |
[00:51.80] | Here in Youngstown |
[00:54.92] | Here in Youngstown |
[00:58.36] | My sweet Jenny, I’m sinkin’ down |
[01:02.77] | Here darlin’ in Youngstown |
[01:06.60] | |
[01:11.58] | Well my daddy worked the furnaces |
[01:14.95] | Kept ’em hotter than hell |
[01:18.02] | I came home from Nam worked my way to scarfer |
[01:20.56] | A job that’d suit the devil as well |
[01:24.55] | Taconite, coke and limestone |
[01:28.09] | Fed my children and made my pay |
[01:31.53] | Then smokestacks reachin’ like the arms of god |
[01:35.18] | Into a beautiful sky of soot and clay |
[01:40.18] | Here in Youngstown |
[01:43.78] | Here in Youngstown |
[01:47.06] | My sweet Jenny, I’m sinkin’ down |
[01:51.94] | Here darlin’ in Youngstown |
[01:56.94] | Well my daddy come on the 0hio works |
[02:02.63] | When he come home from world war two |
[02:05.92] | Now the yards just scrap and rubble |
[02:08.75] | He said, "Them big boys did what Hitler couldn’t do" |
[02:12.91] | These mills they built the tanks and bombs |
[02:15.80] | That won this country’s wars |
[02:19.69] | We sent our sons to Korea and Vietnam |
[02:22.83] | Now we’re wondering what they were dyin’ for |
[02:28.37] | Here in Youngstown |
[02:31.72] | Here in Youngstown |
[02:34.99] | My sweet Jenny, I’m sinkin’ down |
[02:39.21] | Here darlin’ in Youngstown |
[02:49.80] | |
[03:19.98] | From the Monongahela valley |
[03:22.53] | To the Mesabi iron range |
[03:25.99] | To the coal mines of Appalacchia |
[03:29.15] | The story’s always the same |
[03:33.92] | Seven-hundred tons of metal a day |
[03:36.61] | Now sir you tell me the world's changed |
[03:39.65] | Once I made you rich enough |
[03:42.60] | Rich enough to forget my name |
[03:46.02] | Here in Youngstown |
[03:49.51] | Here in Youngstown |
[03:53.92] | My sweet Jenny, I’m sinkin’ down |
[03:57.44] | Here darlin’ in Youngstown |
[04:02.50] | When I die I don’t want no part of heaven |
[04:06.61] | I would not do heavens work well |
[04:09.31] | I pray the devil will come and take me |
[04:13.98] | To stand in the fiery furnaces of hell |
[04:18.03] | In Youngstown |
[04:21.56] | Here in Youngstown |
[04:25.26] | My sweet Jenny, I’m sinkin’ down |
[04:28.65] | Here darlin’ in Youngstown |
[04:34.02] | My sweet Jenny, I’m sinkin’ down |
