MuzikTyme Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Here's one of the best . . . Fourth of July (Lake of Fire) Where do bad folks go when they die? They dont go to heaven where the angels fly They go down to the lake of fire and fry Wont see them again till the fourth of July I knew a lady who came from duluth She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth She went to her grave just a little too soon And she flew away howling on the yellow moon Where do bad folks go when they die? They dont go to heaven where the angels fly They go down to the lake of fire and fry Wont see them again till the fourth of July Now the people cry and the people moan And they look for a dry place to call their home And try to find some place to rest their bones While the angels and the devils Fight to claim them for their own Where do bad folks go when they die? They dont go to heaven where the angels fly They go down to the lake of fire and fry Wont see them again till the fourth of July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
