Northfield, MN from El Malpais by Jim Younger's Spirit

We must stand by the bridge
Where the river gently flows
The autumn sky is dull
There’s too many people
Oh there’s too many people
In the main streets of Northfield

It all started with this shout
« Get your guns! They’re robbing the bank! »
And with a shot
From my brother’s rifle

Oh! that sound,
A sound I know too well
Oh! that town
We rushed into, yelling
Rocks and bullets rain on us
From the roofs and sidewalks
The smoke’s so thick, the deadmen’s horses
It couldn’t have been worse

We fought for
We killed for
Thirty bucks
It couldn’t have been worse

Before the sun goes down
The manhunt is on
Before the sun goes down
The manhunt is on
