Dm
Here in northeast Ohio, back in 1803
C
James and Dan Heaton found the ore that
                    Dm
was lining Yellow Creek.
Dm
They built a blast furnace here along the shore,
C
And they made the cannonballs that helped
                   Dm
the Union win the war.

Chorus:
        C
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 would suit the devil as well
Taconite coke and limestone fed my
children and made my pay
Them smokestacks reaching like the arms of God
Into a beautiful sky of soot and clay

Chorus:
Here in Youngstown
Here in Youngstown
Sweet Jenny, I'm sinking down
Here, darling, in Youngstown

          F                  C
Well, my daddy come on the Ohio works
                                 Dm
When he come home from World War Two.
                               C
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.
   C
We sent our sons to Korea and Vietnam.
                                    Dm
Now we're wondering what they were dying for.

Chorus:
Here in Youngstown
Here in Youngstown
My sweet Jenny, I'm sinking down
Here, darling, 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

Chorus:
In Youngstown
In Youngstown
My sweet Jenny, I'm sinking down
Here, darling, in Youngstown

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 furnaces of hell
