Apathy in the old west: Helldorado

Tombstone, Arizona was known as Helldorado, befitting it's lawless nature. Studio recording with some friends.......

Out in the streets of Helldorado, a Colt revolver in his hand

There stands a lonesome desperado, there lays another in the sand

People peer through shuttered windows, silent witness, justice done

The only law in Helldorado is the round end of a gun

No one cried in Helldorado, no one even knew his name

They stood 'round and watched him die though, Judge and jury just the same

When the sun comes up tomorrow, and they've laid him on Boot Hill

If god won't come to Helldorado it's for sure the devil will

  • Helldorado, lol

    Very cool man

  • Well that was a lot more upbeat than I was expecting after reading the lyric! Is that deliberate for contrast?

    My favorite line is your final one:

    If god won't come to Helldorado it's for sure the devil will

    MoraAmaroLaLoba Madrid (Spain)

    It hs been a nice listening!!! Contrast sounds good!!

  • Love it. Nice to hear something different, and very musical too..excellent singing and playing. Nothing not to like about this. Should be part of a film. Excellent track😀

  • Thanks for the love, folks! Man oh man I wish it was picked up for a soundtrack........that would be sweet!

  • Cool track! It could fit nicely in a western series like Bonanza, or, considering the accordian solos, maybe Hogan's Heroes in the French bar scenes with the mademoiselle spy! LOL! I enjoyed listening! Nice work! 😀
