Here in northeast Ohio, back in 1803

James and Dan Heaton found the ore that was lining Yel

low 

Creek.

They built a blast furnace here along the shore,

And they made the cannonballs 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 come on the O

hio 

works

When he come home from World War  

Two.

Now the  

yard’s just scrap 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.

Now we’re wondering what they were  

dying 

for.

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 furna

ces of hell.
