Lyrics Chant - Hadestown Original Broadway Company
Low,
keep
your
head,
keep
your
head
low
Oh,
you
gotta
keep
your
head
low
If
you
wanna
keep
your
head
Oh,
you
gotta
keep
your
head
low
Keep
your
head,
keep
your
head
low
Oh,
you
gotta
keep
your
head
low
If
you
wanna
keep
your
head
Oh,
you
gotta
keep
your
head
In
the
coldest
time
of
year
Why
is
it
so
hot
down
here?
Hotter
than
a
crucible
It
ain't
right
and
it
ain't
natural
Lover,
you
were
gone
so
long
Lover,
I
was
lonesome
So
I
built
a
foundry
In
the
ground
beneath
your
feet
Here,
I
fashioned
things
of
steel
Oil
drums
and
automobiles
Then
I
kept
that
furnace
fed
With
the
fossils
of
the
dead
Lover,
when
you
feel
that
fire
Think
of
it
as
my
desire
Think
of
it
as
my
desire
for
you!

Low,
keep
your
head,
keep
your
head
low
La
la
la
la
la
la
la...
Is
it
finished?
Oh,
you
gotta
keep
your
head
low
If
you
wanna
keep
your
head
La
la
la
la
la
la
la...
Not
yet
Oh,
you
gotta
keep
your
head
low
Keep
your
head,
keep
your
head
low
La
la
la
la
la
la
la...
Is
he
always
like
this?
Oh,
you
gotta
keep
your
head
low
If
you
wanna
keep
your
head-
Looking
high
and
looking
low
For
the
food
and
firewood
I
know
we
need
to
find
And
I
am
keeping
one
eye
in
the
sky
And
try
to
trust
that
the
song
he's
working
on
(Ooh)
Is
gonna
shelter
us
From
the
wind,
the
wind,
the
wind
In
the
darkest
time
of
year
Why
is
it
so
bright
down
here?
Brighter
than
a
carnival
It
ain't
right
and
it
ain't
natural
Lover,
you
were
gone
so
long
Lover,
I
was
lonesome
So
I
laid
a
power
grid
In
the
ground
on
which
you
stood
And
wasn't
it
electrifying
When
I
made
the
neon
shine!
Silver
screen,
cathode
ray
Brighter
than
the
light
of
day
Lover,
when
you
see
that
glare
Think
of
it
as
my
despair
Think
of
it
as
my
despair
for
you!
I
can't
find
the
tune
Orpheus!
I
can't
feel
the
rhythm
Orpheus!
King
Hades
is
deafened
by
a
river
of
stone
Poor
boy
working
on
a
song
And
Lady
Persephone's
blinded
by
a
river
of
wine
Living
in
an
oblivion
He
did
not
see
the
storm
coming
on
His
black
gold
flows
In
the
world
down
below
And
her
dark
clouds
roll
in
the
one
up
above
Look
up!
Keep
your
head
low
And
that
is
the
reason
we're
on
this
road
And
the
seasons
are
wrong
And
the
wind
is
so
strong
That's
why
times
are
so
hard
It's
because
of
the
gods
The
gods
have
forgotten
the
song
of
their
love
Singing
la
la
la
la
la
la...
Low,
keep
your
head,
keep
your
head
low
Oh,
you
gotta
keep
your
head
low
La
la
la
la
la
la
la...
If
you
wanna
keep
your
head
Oh,
you
gotta
keep
your
head
low
La
la
la
la
la
la
la...
Keep
your
head,
keep
your
head
low
Oh,
you
gotta
keep
your
head
low
La
la
la
la
la
la
If
you
wanna
keep
your
head-
Lookin'
low
and
lookin'
high
There
is
no
food
left
to
find
It's
hard
enough
to
feed
yourself
Let
alone
somebody
else
I'm
trying
to
believe
That
the
song
he's
working
on
Is
gonna
harbor
me
from
The
wind,
the
wind,
the
wind
Eurydice
was
a
hungry
young
girl
Give
that
back!
She
was
no
stranger
to
the
wind
It's
everything
we
have!
But
she
had
not
seen
nothing
Orpheus!
Like
the
mighty
storm
she
got
caught
in
Orpheus!
Shelter
us!
Only
took
a
minute
Harbor
me!
But
the
wrath
of
the
gods
was
in
it
Every
year,
it's
getting
worse
Hadestown,
hell
on
Earth!
Did
you
think
I'd
be
impressed
With
this
neon
necropolis?
Lover,
what
have
you
become
Coal
cars
and
oil
drums
Warehouse
walls
and
factory
floors
I
don't
know
you
anymore
And
in
the
meantime
up
above
The
harvest
dies
and
people
starve
Oceans
rise
and
overflow
It
ain't
right
and
it
ain't
natural
Lover,
everything
I
do
I
do
it
for
the
love
of
you
If
you
don't
even
want
my
love
I'll
give
it
to
someone
who
does
Someone
grateful
for
her
fate
Someone
who
appreciates
The
comforts
of
a
gilded
cage
And
doesn't
try
to
fly
away
The
moment
Mother
Nature
calls
Someone
who
could
love
these
walls
That
hold
her
close
and
keep
her
safe
And
think
of
them
as
my
embrace
Singing:
la
la
la
la
la
la
la...
Low,
keep
your
head,
keep
your
head
low
Shelter
us
Think
of
them
as
my
embrace
La
la
la
la
la
la
la...
Low,
keep
your
head,
keep
your
head-
Harbor
me
Think
of
them
as
my
embrace
Of
you
