Hadestown by Anais Mitchell

ALL I'VE EVER KNOWN

Copy and paste onto a GD and fill in the missing words as you listen:

1. What does the song tell you about each character?

2. How do you imagine the scene?

I was ***** so long

I didn't even know that I was *****

Out in the ***** so long

I didn't even know that I was cold

Turned my ***** to the wind

This is how it's always been

All I've ever known is how to hold my *****

All I've ever known is how to hold my own

But now I wanna hold you, too

You take me in your arms

And suddenly there's ***** all around me

Everything bright and warm

And ***** like it never did before

And for a moment I forget

Just how ***** and cold it gets

All I've ever known is how to hold my own

But now I wanna hold you

Now I wanna hold you

Hold you close

I don't wanna ever have to let you go

Now I wanna hold you, hold you tight

I don't wanna go back to the ***** life

Orpheus

I don't know how or why

Or who am I that I should get to hold you?

But when I saw you all alone against the sky

It's like I'd known you all along

I knew you ***** we met

And I don't even know you yet

All I know is you're someone I have ***** known

All I know is you're someone I have always known

And I don't even know you

Now I wanna hold you

Hold you close

I don't wanna ever have to let you go

Suddenly the sunlight

Bright and warm

Suddenly I'm holding the world in my arms

Say that you'll hold me *****

Say that the wind won't change on us

Say that we'll ***** with each other

And it will always be like this

I'm gonna hold you forever

The wind will never ***** on us

Long as we stay with each other

Then it will always be like this

For the first part identify who is singing, for the second, fill in the missing word:

3. ____________

There was a train comin' up from way down below

5. ____________

Better go and get your suitcase packed, guess it's time to go

6. ____________

She's gonna ride that train

She's gonna ride that train until the end of the line

Because the King of the Mine is coming to call

Did you ever wonder what it's like on the underside?

Way down under

On the yonder side?

Way down yonder

On the other side of his lawn?

Follow that 1 ***** for a long way down

Far away from the 2 ***** door

You either get to hell or to Hadestown

Ain't no 3 ***** anymore!

Way down Hadestown

Way down under the ground

Hound dog howl and the 4 ***** blow

Train come a-rollin, 5 *****

Everybody tryin' to get a 6 ***** to go

Those who go they don't come back

They goin'

Way down Hadestown

Way down under the ground

Ha!

Winter's nigh and summer's o'er

Hear that high and 7 ***** sound

Of my husband coming for

To bring me home to Hadestown

Way down Hadestown

Way down under the ground

Down there, it's a bunch of 8 *****

Brother, I'll be 9 ***** to death

Gonna have to import some stuff

Just to 10 ***** myself

Give me 11 ***** in the tin

Give me a crate of the 12 ***** of the vine

Takes a lot of 13 *****

To make it through the 14 *****

Way down Hadestown

Way down under the ground

Every little penny in the wishing well

Every little nickel on the drum

On the drum!

All them shiny little heads and tails

Where do you think they come from?

They come from

Way down Hadestown

Way down under the ground
