Lyrics
Once upon a time there was a railroad line
Don't ask where brother, don't ask where
It was a road to hell, 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
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 singing 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 could 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
I'm gonna sing it anyway
Now 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
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
