In the state of New York within the Chemung County Line
Is the city of Elmira Sitting small neat and fine
There youâll wind a womenâs college and a church steeple high
And a prison camp for rebels from a war of days gone by
Whoooah! Hellmira! Hellmira.
There the graycoats starved & languished dying far from home and ken
For they'd fought to break the union and to chain the souls of men
There boys in blue stood guarding, cold and as heartless as could be
As Christ died to make men holy they would kill to make men free
Now the war and all its warriors are buried on the hill
But the devilâs found Elmira, you will find him waiting still
For all sense to be forgotten in the quarrellings of men
Raises guns whips and cudgels and heâll feast on souls again
Hellmiraâs the devilâs town
Heâs waiting to drag you down
If you march to sin and war
Youâll join his ranks forever more
Hellmiraâs the devils town
