GUEST,celticblues5 Songs About Hell (74* d) RE: Songs About Hell 10 Jul 01

There's a mention of hell in the Austin Lounge Lizards' "Jesus Loves Me," ("Jesus loves me, this I know/and He told me where you're gonna go/there's lots of room for your kind down below" - full lyrics on a different thread.

Flamin' Mamie's last verse (at least in the Willie Dixon version, which is the only one I'm familiar with) is:

Mamie loved her way to Hell
She loved the Devil and she loved him well
Little devils runnin' up and down the wall,
Sayin', "Help us, Daddy, she gonna love us all!"

As others have mentioned, there are lotsa songs that mention the place - e.g. Richard & Linda Thompson's "Hell, Highwater, and Heartache" ("It's been Hell, highwater, and heartache since you've come back to me...").

"The Well Below the Valley-O" is a great song, and I think a version is in the DT.
