Great song. I agree it should have been on murder ballads.
I think Nick is implying that perhaps instead trying to kill each other that Robert Moore, the "man with the wing-nut ears", the "frog-eyed man" and the sailor should have realized their real enemy was Betty Coltrane. Clearly Betty Coltrane is a harpy and when she steals the money from everyone at the end it is obvious she never cared about any of these men.
Another awesome tale of "love" gone wrong from Nick Cave.
