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.T----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Biel" To: "78-L Mail List" <78-l at klickitat.78online.com>Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 3:17 PMSubject: Re: [78-L] Hell to pay> On 1/25/2011 6:08 PM, Taylor Bowie wrote:>> Thanks, Bud!
