When the Fire Comes Down

Song	When the Fire Comes Down
Artist	Hank Williams
Album	The Unreleased Recordings: Gospel Keepsakes

	作曲 : Estes, Fowler, Harrell, Kinsey
	Way back in the days of
	NoahWater covered all this land
	Then the great rainbow of promise
	Started up on life again
	And the Good
	Book tells of fires
	That will fill the earth some day
	Then the sinful will be screamin'
	As this earth shall pass away
	When the fire(When the fire)
	Comes down from
	Heaven(Comes down from Heaven)
	This old world(This old world)
	Will melt away(Will melt away)
	Millions then(Millions then)
	Will cry for mercy(Will cry for mercy)
	But it will be(But it will be)
	Too late to pray
	Oh, this world is at a tremble
	And it's rockin' to and fro
	You can read it in the papers
	Hear it on the radio
	In the movies, they are showin'
	Towns and cities, how they blaze
	But there's hotter fire a comin'
	If we follow sin's highway
	When the fire(When the fire)
	Comes down from
	Heaven(Comes down from Heaven)
	This old world(This old world)
	Will melt away(Will melt away)
	Millions then(Millions then)
	Will cry for mercy(Will cry for mercy)
	But it will be(But it will be)
	Too late to pray
	Texas City,
	Texas City
	Oh, how awful was her fate
	First she burned and then exploded
	Now the story, we'll relate
	Of the Winecoff in
	AtlantaHow she burned right to the ground
	Of the great fire in
	ChicagoAnd the dead lay all around
	When the fire(When the fire)
	Comes down from
	Heaven(Comes down from Heaven)
	This old world(This old world)
	Will melt away(Will melt away)
	Millions then(Millions then)
	Will cry for mercy(Will cry for mercy)
	But it will be(But it will be)
	Too late to pray
