Road to Hell

Once upon a time there was a railroad line

Don't ask where, brother, don't ask when

It was a road to Hell- No! It was hard times

It was a world of gods and men

It's an old song

It's an old tale from way back when

It's an old song

But we're gonna sing it again

Now on the road to Hell there was a railroad line

And there were three old women all dressed the same

And they was always singin' in the back of your mind

Everybody meet the Fates!

Now on the road to Hell there was a railroad station

And a man with feathers on his feet

Who would help you to your final destination

Mr. Hermes - that's me!

It's a sad song

It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy

It's a sad song

But we sing it anyway

Now, on the road to Hell there was a railroad line

And a lady steppin' off a train

With a suitcase full of summertime

Persephone, by name

There was a railroad line on the road to Hell

There was a young man down on a bended knee

And brother, thus begins the tale

Of Orpheus and Eurydice!

It's a love song

It's a tale of a love that never dies

It's a love song

About someone who tries
