| "Quantrill" | |
| All routing and shooting and giving the yell Like so many demons just raised up from hell The boys they were drunken with powder and wine And came to burn Lawrence just over the line Come all you bold robbers and open your ears Of Quantrill the lion heart you quickly shall hear With his band of bold raiders in double quick time He came to burn Lawrence just over the line They came to burn Lawrence they came not to stay They rode in one morn at the break of the day With guns all a waving and horses all foam And Quantrill a riding his famous big roan They came to burn Lawrence they came not to stay Jim Lane he was up at the break of the day He saw them a comin and got in the right He then crawled in a corn crib to get out of sight Oh Quantrills a fighter a bold hearted boy A brave man or woman hed never annoy Hed take from the wealthy and give to the poor For brave men theres never a bolt to his door |
