[Chorus]
G F Bb
Where do bad folks go when they die?
G C Bb
They dont go to heaven where the angels fly
G F Bb
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
C F Bb G
Wont see them again till the fourth of July
[Verse]
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*
And she flew away howling on the yellow moon
[Chorus]
G F Bb
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
