Gabriel Church wrote this balled about the murder of Alexander Goins by Eli Boggs. I do not remember where I got this copy from, but i do not think it has a copyright. POOR GOINS Come all you young people who live far and near, And I'll tell you of some murder that was done on the Nini Mile Spur. They surrounded poor Goins, but Goins got away; He went to Ely Boggs, he went there to stay. Ely Boggs he foreknew him, his life he did betray., saying "come and go with me and I'll show you a nigh way." They started up the Nine Mile Spur, they made no delay, Till they come to the crossroads where Goins they did slay. When they got within hearing, they were lying mighty still "Your money is what we're after, and Goins we will kill." When they got within gunshot, they bid him for to stand "your money is what we're after, your life is in our hands'" "Sweet Heaven! Sweet Heaven!" How loud he did cry. "To think of my companion, and now I have to die!" When the gun did fire, it caused his horse to run, The bullet failed to kill him, George struck him with his gun. After they had killed him, with him they would not stay. They drank up all his whiskey, and then they rode away. Mrs. Goins she was sent for, she made no delay. She found his grave along by the way. Go kill a man for his riches or any such thing, I pray the Lord have mercy, Till the Judgement kill the sting.
