When The Fire Comes Down Lyrics - Hank Williams

Way back in the days of Noah 

Water 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 

Photos 

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 Atlanta 

How she burned right to the ground 

Of the great fire in Chicago 

And 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
