Hayride To Hell Pt. 2 (The Showdown) - Hoodoo Gurus

Charlie found Billy

In a far-off town

It had been more than a year since his daughter Marie

Had been put into the ground

Charlie swore when he found him

He would get his revenge

For the loss of a daughter

Billy Jackson’s life would come to an end

Ooh, his time would come

Ooh, his time would come

When Billy saw Charlie

It was too late to run

Charlie was standing in the doorway

And in his hand he held a gun

The chase was all over

But Billy felt relieved somehow

For tomorrow he would not have to run

No matter what happened now

Ooh, his time had come

Ooh, his time had come

Billy said, «Charlie, I know you’re gonna kill me

But just let me say

It’s true, I was the father of Marie’s child

And I, I ran away

But we’d planned to get married

But we were both of us just kids

And Marie told me how you got so angry

On the night she tried to tell you what we did

So we decided I should split from town

Until the fuss had all died down

Then I heard how she died

And since that day I’ve only known misery

Now you’ve come for my blood

Perhaps I’ll get to join my Marie»

Charlie just stood there

And tears filled his eyes

He’d come to kill Billy

But never would, he realised

They both loved his daughter

He knew that at last

And hatred can’t build a future

And vengeance can’t bring back the past

Ooh, that time has gone

Ooh, that time has gone
