Pamme Swan: Swan Songs
Hey Momma Loomis~Songs From Mountains East And West
All I know is that there isn't near enough about the Loomis Gang on the web. The story of the Loomis Gang would make one heck of a great movie!
Hey Momma Loomis Down in Nine Mile Swamp
With your gang of rowdy robbers Who hardly ever got caught.
From Canada to Pennsylvania Finger Lakes and Vermont
A hundred horses hiding Down in Nine Mile Swamp
Hey Momma Loomis Would you do it again
Teach your children to steal Anything that they can
Something surely tells me In a minute you would
The fun ya’ll had looting Anything ya could
Hey Momma Loomis What cha got under your shauls
Counterfeiting money Stuffed in the walls
Paint the stolen horses Saddle up an steal again
Hey Momma Loomis You were crazy back then
Hey Momma Loomis Your parties were grand
Laden tables on a hilltop Dancing to a band
Wash the leader Grove second in command
Of the whole territory Who thought you was mad
Hey Momma Loomis Ya ain’t the only one corrupt
Bribing politicians To cover it all up
Dead Rabbits and Plug Uglies Terrorizing the streets
Its a wonder how anyone Ever got any sleep
Hey Momma Loomis Constable’s coming for your sons
He’s riding over from Brookfield With some men and some guns
Get your girls to divert them Go hide in the swamp
What a movie this would make I wish we could talk
Hey Momma Loomis Do you have any regrets
Now that your home is burned down And you lost all your bets
Plumb is in jail With a rope burn on his neck
Your family broke and murdered An you’re the only one left
