Bruce Springsteen - Youngstown Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Here in northeast ohio

Back in eighteen-o-threejames and dan heaton

Found the ore that was linin yellow creek

They built a blast furnacehere along the shor

And they made the cannonballs

That helped the union win the war

Here in youngstown

Here in youngstown

My sweet jenny Im sinkin down

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 thatd 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 Im sinkin down

Here darlin in youngstown

Well my daddy come on the ohio works

When he come home from world war two

Now the yards just scrap and rubble

He said them big boys did what hitler couldnt do.

These mills they built the tanks and bombs

That won this countrys wars

We sent our sons to korea and vietnam

Now were wondering what they were dyin for

Here in youngstown

Here in youngstown

My sweet jenny Im sinkin down

Here darlinin youngstown

Here in youngstown

From the monongahela valley

To the mesabi iron range

To the coal mines of appalachia

The storys always the same

700 tons of metal a day

Now sir you tell me the worlds changed

Once I made you rich enough

Rich enough to forget my name

And youngstown

And youngstown

My sweet jenny Im sinkin down

Here darlin in youngstown

When I die I dont want no part of heaven

I would not do heavens work well

I pray the devil comes and takes me

To stand in the fiery furnaces of hell
