| Met a woman
|
| Got engaged
|
| Time passed
|
| Wedding day
|
| The my feet turned cold at the tone of those wedding bells
|
| Felt bad everybody got dressed up but I knew I’d messed up so I had to 'fess up
|
| That all really wanted was just to get drunk as hell
|
| So I jilted that poor woman and got drunk as hell
|
| I’m talking 'bout hellfire (Hellfire!)
|
| Hellfire (Hellfire!)
|
| Hellfire
|
| That’s where I’m bound
|
| I’m talking 'bout hellfire (Hellfire!)
|
| Hellfire (Hellfire!)
|
| Hellfire
|
| That’s where I’m bound
|
| Feeling sinful
|
| Needing grace
|
| Sunday morning
|
| Knew the place
|
| So I stumbled into church and sat down for a spell
|
| A few minutes I felt free of sin
|
| So I polished off my bottle of bathtub gin
|
| And got stinking, dirty, awful drunk as hell
|
| Yeah right there in the back pew I got drunk as hell
|
| I’m talking 'bout hellfire (Hellfire!)
|
| Hellfire (Hellfire!)
|
| Hellfire
|
| That’s where I’m bound
|
| I’m talking 'bout hellfire (Hellfire!)
|
| Hellfire (Hellfire!)
|
| Hellfire
|
| That’s where I’m bound
|
| My drinking buddy passed away
|
| Lightweight, couldn’t hang
|
| So I filled my flask and went to say farewell
|
| I stood in the back dressed in black tearing up and turning up
|
| Getting lit up good godawful greasy drunk as hell
|
| I cried, «I'm coming for you, buddy, that’s where I’m bound!»
|
| I’m talking 'bout hellfire (Hellfire!)
|
| Hellfire (Hellfire!)
|
| Hellfire
|
| That’s where I’m bound
|
| I’m talking 'bout hellfire (Hellfire!)
|
| Hellfire (Hellfire!)
|
| Hellfire
|
| That’s where I’m bound |
