Ring of Fire Original Lyrics

Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a firey ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into 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
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

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
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The ring of fire

Love is a burning thing
It makes a firey ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire

Down I fell into a burning ring of fire
Down, down, down
The flames grew higher
It burns, burns, burns
This ring of fire
This ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you just like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild

I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down, down, down
And the flames grew higher
And it burned, burned, burned
This ring of fire
This ring of fire
It burned, burned, burned
This ring of fire
This ring of fire
