Once upon a time there was a railroad line
Don't ask where brother don't ask when
It was the road to Hell, it was hard times
It was a world of gods and men

It's an old song

Chorus:
It's an old song

Hermes:
It's an old tale from way back when
It's an old song

Chorus:
It's an old song

Hermes:
And we're gonna sing it again

Gods and men, alright alright! We got some in the house tonight!

See on the road to Hell there was a railroad line
And there was three old women all dressed the same
And they was always singing in the back of your mind
Everybody meet the Fates!

And on the road to Hell there was a railroad station
And a man with feathers on his feet
Who could help you to your final destination
Mister Hermes, that's me!

It's a sad song

Chorus:
It's a sad song

Hermes:
It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy
It's a sad song

Chorus:
It's a sad song

Hermes:
We're gonna sing it anyway

On the road to hell there was a railroad line
And a lady stepping off a train
With a suitcase full of Summertime
Persephone by name

Him, oh we'll get to him.
It's just a matter of time on this railroad line

But you can tip your hats and your wallets
Brothers and sisters, boys and girls
To the hardest working Chorus
in the gods' almighty world

And working just as hard for you
Let's see what this crew can do

Alright, alright, alright!

At the railroad line on the road to Hell
There was a poor boy working on a song
Poor boy singing to himself
Waiting for someone to come along
On the railroad line on the road to Hell
Like this young girl looking for something to eat
And brother, thus begins the tale
Of Orpheus and Eurydice

It's a love song

Company:
It's a love song

Hermes:
It's a tale of a love from long ago
It's a sad song

Company:
It's a sad song

Hermes:
We're gonna sing it even so
It's an old song

Company:
It's an old song

Hermes:
It's an old tale from way back when
And we're gonna sing,

Company:
We're gonna sing
We're gonna sing it again
