Road to Hell

Once upon a time, there was a railroad line (mm)

Don't ask where, brother, don't ask why (mm)

It was the road to Hell

It was hard times

It was a world of gods (mm)

And men

It's an old song (it's an old song)

It's an old tale from way back when

It's an old song (it's an old song)

And we're gonna sing it again

Gods and men, aight

We got some gods in the house tonight (hey)

See on the road to Hell there was a railroad line (mm)

And there were three old women all dressed the same (mm)

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

Everybody meet the Fates! (Mm)

And on the road to Hell there was a railroad line (mm)

And a lady steppin' off a train (mm)

With a suitcase full of summertime

Persephone, by name (mm)

And if you ride that train (ride that train)

If you ride that train (ride that train)

If you ride that train to the end of the line (mm)

Where the sun don't shine and it's always shady (mm)

It's there you'll find the king of the mine

All mighty mister Hades (ooh)

We got any other gods?

Oh, right, almost forgot

On the road to Hell there was a railroad station (mm)

And a man with feathers on his feet (mm)

Who could help you to your final destination? (Mm)

Mr. Hermes, that's me! (Ooh!)

See someone's got to tell the tale

Whether or not it turns out well

Maybe it will turn out this time

On the road to Hell, on the railroad line

It's a sad song (it's a sad song)

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

It's a sad song (it's a sad song)

We gonna sing it anyway (ooh), come on!

Now not everyone gets to be a God

And don't forget that times are hard

Hard times in the world of men

Let me introduce you to a few of them

You can tip your hats and your wallets

Brothers and sisters, boys and girls
