This karaoke track is based mostly off of the 2017 live cast recording of Hadestown. The track is missing a few verses and it is structured so you can sing it with a group like the original track or solo (challenging but fun).


Way Down Hadestown from Hadestown
[HERMES]
Follow that dollar for a long way down
Far away from the poorhouse door
Either get to hell or to Hadestown
Ain’t no difference anymore!
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground
Hound dog howl and the whistle blow
Train come a-rollin, clickety-clack
Nobody knows where that old train goes
Those who go they don’t come back
They go

[COMPANY]
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[PERSEPHONE]
Winter’s nigh and summer’s o’er
Hear that high and lonesome sound
Of my husband coming for
To bring me home to Hadestown

[COMPANY]
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[FATES]
Everybody dresses in clothes so fine
Everybody’s pockets are weighted down
Everybody's sipping ambrosia wine

[EURYDICE]
In a goldmine in Hadestown

[COMPANY]
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[ORPHEUS]
Everybody hungry
Everybody tired
Everybody slaves by the sweat of his brow
The wage is nothing and the work is hard
It’s a graveyard in Hadestown

[COMPANY]
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[FATES]
Every little penny in the wishing well
Every little nickel on the drum
All them shiny little heads and tails
Where do you think they come from?
They come from

[COMPANY]
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[ORPHEUS]
Mr. Hades is a mean old boss

[HERMES]
With a silver whistle and a golden scale

[FATES]
An eye for an eye!

[HERMES]
And he weighs the cost

[FATES]
A lie for a lie!

[HERMES]
And your soul for sale

[FATES]
Sold!

[ORPHEUS]
To the king on the chromium throne

[ORPHEUS]
To the bottom of a Sing Sing cell

[HERMES]
Where the little wheel squeals and the big wheel groans

[ORPHEUS]
And you better forget about your wishing well

[COMPANY]
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[HERMES, spoken]
And on the road to hell there was a railroad car
And the car door opened and a man stepped out
Everybody looked and everybody saw
It was the same man they'd been singing about

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
You're early!

[HADES, spoken]
I missed you

[FATES]
Mr. Hades is a mighty king
Must be making some mighty big deals
Seems like he owns everything

[EURYDICE]
Kind of makes you wonder how it feels

[COMPANY]
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground
Way down under the ground
Way down under the ground

Thanks for watching:)
