[78-L] Hell to pay

[Taylor Bowie]

Yeah and "She Looks Like Helen Brown" is another one.

I guess what I'm looking for are lyrics which actually use "Hell" as an oath 
or  profanity,  and not as an actual place or hidden within a pun.  So by my 
newly determined standard,  none o' these earlier ones would fit except for 
the Spinach tune.
