Northfield Raid 1876: The James-Younger Gang's Bloody Last Stand

In the shadow of the law, where justice turned blind,
The James-Younger Gang, so reckless and wild,
They made their plan, thought they'd strike it rich,
But fate had a different road, a deadly twist.

Northfield, a town of fearless pride,
Where steel-hearted folk stood side by side.
James and Younger, their star burned out,
In the dust of the streets, where justice shouts.

With guns in hand, they rode into town,
But the people stood up, wouldn’t back down.
The street caught fire, bullets did rain,
Smoke and screams, the day turned to pain.

Heywood fell, but his spirit stands tall,
His name still echoes, stronger than all.

J.S. Allen saw shadows creep,
Stepped outside, no time for retreat.
With a cry that shook the town so wide,
"Grab your guns, boys – they're robbing the bank!" he cried.

Northfield, a town of fearless pride,
Where steel-hearted folk stood side by side.
James and Younger, their star burned out,
In the dust of the streets, where justice shouts.

Jesse and Frank, they ran for their lives,
But all they had left was a pocket of dimes.
The gang was broken, their fate was near,
No more legends, just whispers of fear.

Northfield remembers, but not with fame,
Just a warning carved in history’s name.

Northfield, a town of fearless pride,
Where steel-hearted folk stood side by side.
James and Younger, their star burned out,
In the dust of the streets, where justice shouts.

“Grab your guns, boys – they're robbing the bank!” he cried.

Hillbilly Music: From Appalachian Roots to Global Legacy
