I still live in this God-forsaken place.

"When I die I don't want no part of heaven

I would not do heaven's work well

I pray the devil comes and takes me

To stand in the fiery furnaces of hell"

How much more working class does it get? Amazing.

Incredibly moving version, wow. The last verse, sung in an ominous, sneering tone, sounding like the devil: "When I die I don't want no part of heaven, I would not do heaven's work well; I pray the devil comes and takes me to stand in the fiery furnaces o' hell" He was in character, for sure. First time seeing this, surely the first of many, many viewings.

What a great song. I worked as a brakeman on the railroad in eastern Ohio when I came home from 'Nam in the early seventies. The decline was evident. All those plants and mills that had been so vital and alive when I was a kid, reduced to scrap and rusting hulks. The jobs gone.

Youngstown is an incredible song....I much prefer it done like this than the rocked up version he done on later tours. It's power is in it's intimacy.
