Hadestown Cast Lyrics

"When The Chips Are Down ("Songbird Vs. Rattlesnake...") [Intro]"
(performed by André De Shields)
(from "Hadestown (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)

[Hermes:]
Songbird versus rattlesnake

[Fates:]
Mmm

[Eurydice:]
What is it?

[Hermes:]
Eurydice was a hungry, young girl

[Fates:]
Mmm

[Hades:]
Your ticket

[Hermes:]
And Hades gave her a choice to make:

[Fates:]
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm

[Hermes:]
A ticket to the underworld
