[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 on the shore
Then 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 furnace
Kept 'em hotter than hell
I come home from 'Nam, worked my way to scarfer
A job that'd suit the dеvil as well
Taconite coke and limеstone
Fed my children, made my pay
Them smokestacks reaching like the arms of God
Into a beautiful sky of soot and clay
Here in northeast Ohio
Back in 1803

That was lining Yellow Creek
They built a blast furnace
Here on the shore
Then they made the cannonballs
That helped the Union win the war

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

I come home from 'Nam, worked my way to scarfer

Them smokestacks reaching like the arms of God
Into a beautiful sky of soot and clay
