There was a folk hero named Jesse
Whose wild life of crime was excess-y
He and his brother
Escaped to take cover
When a botched job in Northfield got messy
They camped near Waseca a spell
At least that’s what rumor would tell
The Youngers --arrested
The James boys—detested
They risked spending time in a cell
Of course, they were toting some loot
As the James pair eluded pursuit
The sought for MEDALLION
Slid from the spurred stallion
As Jesse dug deep with his boot
In the next weeks we’ll follow their trail
As the brothers avoided sure jail
In limerick style
We’ll cover their miles
And we’ll locate the coin without fail
