I'm reading a book on Quantrill's Raiders...

 

Here is a song Ed Koger wrote about an incident where Riley Alley invited Quantrill to a ball so that the Union Soldiers could capture the famous Guerrilla fighter...

 

Old Rile Alley gave a ball,

The Feds came down and took us all

Over the ice and over the snow--

Sing-Song Kitty, won't you kiss-me-o!

Old Rile Alley gave a ball,

Planned to catch Quantrill and bushwack all,

But Quant was smart and didn't go---

Sing-Song Kitty, won't you kiss-me-o!
