Song lyrics
Where do bad folks go when they die? 
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly 
They go to a lake of fire and fry 
See 'em again 'till the fourth of July 

I knew a lady who came from Duluth 
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth 
She went to her grave just a little too soon 
And flew away howling on the yellow moon 

Where do bad folks go when they die? 
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly 
They go to a lake of fire and fry 
See 'em again 'till the fourth of July 

The people cry and the people moan 
They look for a dry place to call their home 
Try to find some place to rest their bones 
While the angels and the devils try to make 'em their own 

Where do bad folks go when they die? 
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly 
They go to a lake of fire and fry 
See 'em again 'till the fourth of July 

(Originally by the Meat Puppets)

"...They go to a lake of fire and fry..." Rollicking and resonant Western-sounding cover.

How can you say that the Meat Puppets suck? They're one of the greatest and most influential bands of all time, they just never get publicity because they stayed independent for almost their entire careers. And besides, the Puppets version of this is far and away better than Nirvana's cover. They actually needed to bring the brothers from the Meat Puppets in to handle most of the guitar work because it was complicated. I love nirvana too, but give some respect to the guys who came before them.

the meat puppets are awsome but i love how kurt slowed it down just a little bit from the original version and made it their own kick ass version. I could listen to this song every day and not get tired of it. I love how right in the begining with that deep bump bump bump bump bump bump bump and kurt then comes in with that "where the bad folks go when the die" it is just so awsome.

I strongly believe this is the best cover song they did, they made it 10 times better than the original. That just goes to show you how talented they were.

This song is just another song that proves how amazing Nirvana was. The lyrics are amazing.....the way you can look it. The house Kurt died in is on Lake Washington in seattle (Lake of Fire)

Yeah, I wonder to. It's a lot in their texts that I don't understand, but It's not a big matter, It's the feeling that's important.. I don't know why, don't belive in devils or hell, but I just love this song. I think it's unfortunately it's so short, I need to play it over and over again.
