| [00:00.599] | All on board |
| [00:07.902] | Follow that dollar for a long way down |
| [00:10.487] | Far away from the poorhouse door |
| [00:13.057] | Either get to hell or to Hadestown |
| [00:15.561] | Ain’t no difference anymore! |
| [00:18.117] | Way down Hadestown |
| [00:20.756] | Way down under the ground |
| [00:24.864] | Hound dog howl and the whistle blow |
| [00:27.169] | Train come a-rollin, clickety-clack |
| [00:29.824] | Nobody knows where that old train goes |
| [00:32.410] | Those who go they don’t come back |
| [00:34.463] | COMPANY: |
| [00:34.988] | Way down Hadestown |
| [00:37.450] | Way down under the ground |
| [00:58.235] | PERSEPHONE |
| [00:58.498] | Winter’s night and summer’s o’er |
| [01:00.655] | Hear that high and lonesome sound |
| [01:03.355] | Of my husband coming for |
| [01:05.886] | To bring me home to Hadestown |
| [01:08.242] | COMPANY: |
| [01:08.456] | Way down Hadestown |
| [01:11.168] | Way down under the ground |
| [01:14.531] | EURYDICE: |
| [01:15.135] | Everybody dresses in clothes so fine |
| [01:17.718] | Everybody's pockets are weighted down |
| [01:20.370] | Everybody's sipping ambrosia wine |
| [01:22.873] | In a goldmine in Hadestown |
| [01:25.259] | COMPANY |
| [01:25.412] | Way down Hadestown |
| [01:28.100] | Way down under the ground |
| [01:32.168] | ORPHEUS: |
| [01:32.637] | Everybody hungry |
| [01:33.410] | Everybody tired |
| [01:34.669] | Everybody slaves by the sweat of his brow |
| [01:37.179] | The wage is nothing and the work is hard |
| [01:39.680] | It's a graveyard in Hadestown |
| [01:41.841] | COMPANY: |
| [01:42.213] | Way down Hadestown |
| [01:45.202] | Way down under the ground |
| [02:06.288] | FATES |
| [02:06.432] | Every little penny in the wishing well |
| [02:08.537] | Every little nickel on the drum |
| [02:11.212] | All them shiny little heads and tails |
| [02:13.748] | Where do you think they come from? |

| [02:23.059] | Mister Hades is a mean old boss |
| [02:25.358] | With a silver whistle and a golden scale |
| [02:28.144] | An eye for an eye! |
| [02:29.465] | And he weighs the cost |
| [02:30.744] | A lie for a lie! |
| [02:32.034] | And your soul for sale |
| [02:33.352] | Sold! |
| [02:33.783] | To the king on the chromium throne |
| [02:35.995] | Thrown! |
| [02:36.341] | To the bottom of a sing-sing cell |
| [02:38.565] | Where the little wheel squeal and the big wheel groan |
| [02:41.107] | And you better forget about your wishing well |
