LYRICS:

HERMES:
How to get to Hadestown
You'll have to take the long way
Through the underground, under cover of night
Layin' low, stayin' out of sight
Ain't no compass, brother, ain't no map
Just a telephone wire and a railroad track
Keep on walkin' and don't look back
Till you get to the bottomland

ORPHEUS:
Wait for me
I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait for me
I'm coming, too
I'm coming, too

HERMES:
The River Styx is high and wide
Cinder bricks and razor wire
Walls of iron and concrete
Hound dogs howlin' round the gate
Those dogs'll lay down and play dead
If you got the bones, if you got the bread
But if all you got is your own two legs
Just be glad you get 'em

ORPHEUS and THE FATES:
Wait for me
I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait for me
I'm coming, too
I'm coming, too

THE FATES:
Who are you?
Where do you think you're going?
Who are you?
Why are you all alone?
Who do you think you are?
Who are you to think that you can walk a road
That no one ever waked before?

ORPHEUS:
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

(The company begins to echo Orpheus's song.)

HERMES:
You're on the lam, you're on the run
Don't give your name, you don't have one
And don't look no one in the eye
That town'll try to suck you dry
They'll suck your brain, they'll suck your breath
They'll cut the heart right out your chest
They'll truss you up in your Sunday best
And stuff your mouth with cotton!

ORPHEUS and COMPANY:
Wait for me
I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait for me
I'm coming too
I'm coming too

I'm coming, wait for me (Wait)
I hear the walls repeating (Wait)
The falling of my feet and
It sounds like drumming (Wait)
And I am not alone (Wait)
I hear the rocks and stones (Wait)
Echoing my song
I'm coming! (Coming, coming)
