Run Billy Run - The Shadows

Roller coaster gotta take me back

Lost my way, gotta find the right track

Get back

Right behind me is Desperate Dan

I took his woman, and he knows I’m her man

Run Billy, run Billy boy

Robbed a bank down in Arkansas

I took my woman and I’ve broken the law

And I’m sure

That my tomorrows are almost gone

When Desperate Dan finds me, my life’s done

(Run Billy, run Billy boy)

Run Billy, run Billy, run Billy boy

We hope you survive, we want you alive

Run Billy, run Billy, or you will die

The whole world’s waiting, run Billy, try

Closed my eyes and tried counting sheep

Desperate Dan just looked like Bo Peep

I can’t sleep

Mary Lee you been good to me

Change your name and try Tennessee

Run Billy, run Billy boy

When Mary’s gone, I gotta face this man

One of us is gonna die with my plan

Goodbye, Dan

The time will come when I’m dead and gone

You’ll read about Billy boy on the run

Run Billy, run Billy boy

Run Billy, run Billy, run Billy boy

We hope you survive, we want you alive

Run Billy, run Billy, or you will die

The whole world’s waiting, run Billy, try

Doo do doo do doo doo doo doo

Doo do doo do doo doo doo doo doo

Goodbye Dan

Doo do doo do doo doo doo doo

Doo do doo do doo doo doo doo doo

Run Billy, run Billy boy
