Youngstown (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - June/July 2000) Bruce Springsteen

[Instrumental Intro 00:00-00:35]

[Verse 1]
Here in northeast Ohio, back in 1803
James and Dan Heaton found the ore that was lining Yellow Creek
They built a blast furnace here along the shore
And they made the cannonballs that helped the Union win the war

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

[Verse 2]
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
