Gm                 F            Bb

Where do bad folks go when they die?

     Gm                           C5     Bb

They don't go to heaven where the angels fly.

        Gm                  F        Bb

They go down to the lake of fire and fry.

      C                      F         Gm     Gm  F   G   F   G5

Won't see 'em again till the fourth of July.

 

Dm                Bb

I knew a lady who came from Duluth.

Dm                          A

She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth.

Dm                           Bb

She went to her grave just a little too soon.

        C                        Dm     Dsus2

And she flew away howling on the yellow moon.

 

CHORUS:


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.

 

CHORUS:

 

Gm  F  G5 Gm  F  G5
