Songtext:
Here in northeast ohio Folienbeschriftung LKW
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 kitzbühel
Here in youngstown
Here in youngstown
My sweet jenny i'm sinkin' down
Here darlin' in youngstown
Well my daddy worked the furnaces Tischläufer Papier
Kept 'em hotter than hell
I come home from 'nam worked my way to scarfer
A job that'd suit the devil as well
Taconite coke and limestone
Fed my children and made my pay Postit Desktop
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 i'm sinkin' down monrose klingelton
Here darlin' in youngstown
Well my daddy come on the ohio 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. Globus Bildschirmhintergründe
"these mills they built the tanks and bombs
That won this country's wars
We sent our sons to korea and vietnam
Now we're wondering what they were dyin' for
Here in youngstown 4-Sterne-Hotel Usedom
Here in youngstown
My sweet jenny i'm sinkin' down
Here darlin'in youngstown
Here in youngstown
From the monongahela valley Hagen Immobilien
To the mesabi iron range
To the coal mines of appalachia
The story's always the same
700 tons of metal a day
Now sir you tell me the world's changed Saadiyat
Once i made you rich enough
Rich enough to forget my name
And youngstown
And youngstown
My sweet jenny i'm sinkin' down Maitake
Here darlin' 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
