Heavenly Thrillbillies - Birtley Outlaw Blues Lyrics

Raul was a desperate man, Outlaw of Birtley town
Put a shotgun to his head before the cops could shoot him dead
5 Years in a downtown jail, did time now he's free
Knew just what he had to do, to plan revenge on the boys in blue

Some guy slept with his girlfriend, Went to blow her away
And that no good boyfriend, Shot them both on that day
Went to Blyth and got a gun, Got friends up there so true
He's the Daddy of Gangland, Get Carter's got nothing on you

He had nowhere to go he's a pistolero
Nowhere to run to he was a desperado

Drove on down to Denton town, saw a lawman in his car
Shot him through the window, Oh yeah for being there
Now he's wanted dead or alive, Up went a bounty
So now he's went to ground in wild west Rothbury

Raul he was all alone, Got no partner or no friends
Marshall's they were closing in, Keep Gazza back don't let him in
Marshall said "give up Raul get down on your knees"
He didn't want to lose face or surrender on TV

He had nowhere to go he's a pistolero
Nowhere to run to he was a desperado

Raul was a desperate man, Outlaw of Birtley town
Put a shotgun to his head
'For the cops could shoot him dead
He's a pistolero
He was a desperado
