🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • And it burns, burns, burns
  • The ring of fire, the ring of fire
  • I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
  • I went down, down, down

Sing it again — final chorus

  • And it burns, burns, burns
  • The ring of fire, the ring of fire
  • The taste of love is sweet
ringfireburns
