Ring Of Fire

Hank Williams Jr. · Other Songs - Hank Williams Jr.

Love is a burning thing

And it makes a fiery ring

Bound by wild desire

I fell in a ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire

I went down, down, down and the flames went higher

And it burns, burns, burns

The ring of fire, the ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire

I went down, down, down and the flames went higher

And it burns, burns, burns

The ring of fire, the ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet

When hearts like ours meet

I fell for you like a child

Oh, but the fire went wild

I fell into a burning ring of fire

I went down, down, down and the flames went higher

And it burns, burns, burns

The ring of fire, the ring of fire

Yeah, I fell into a burning ring of fire

I went down, down, down and the flames went higher

And it burns, burns, burns

The ring of fire, the ring of fire

And it burns, burns, burns

The ring of fire, the ring of fire

Ring of fire, ring of fire
