Fire, / Fire, Lord!
Fire gonna burn ma soul!
I ain't been good, / I ain't been clean --
I been stinkin', low-down, mean.
Fire, / Fire, Lord!
Fire gonna burn ma soul!
Tell me, brother, / Do you believe / If you wanta go to heaben / Got to moan an' grieve?
Fire, / Fire, Lord!
Fire gonna burn ma soul!
I been stealin', / Been tellin' lies, / Had more women / Than Pharaoh had wives.
Fire, / Fire, Lord!
Fire gonna burn ma soul!
I means Fire, Lord!
Fire gonna burn ma soul!
