Ed McCurdy - Quantrell lyrics

Your rating:

Come all you bold robbers and open your ears
Of QuantrelI the lion-heart you quickly will hear
With his band of bold raiders in double-quick time
He came to burn Lawrence just over the line

All routing and shouting 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

They came to burn Lawrence, they came not to stay
They rode in one morning at breaking of day
Their guns were a-waving, their horses a-foam
And QuantrelI 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-coming and got in a fright
Then crawled in a corncrib to get out of sight

All routing and shouting 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

Oh, QuantreIl's a fighter, a bold-hearted boy
A brave man or woman he'll never annoy
He'd take from the wealthy and give to the poor
For brave men there's never a bolt to his door

All routing and shouting 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
