The Ballad of Langford Peel – Forgotten Outlaw of the American Frontier!
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
Born in Liverpool, across the cold, gray sea
Langford M. Peel, just a boy with a soldier’s dream
Mama signed him up, twelve years old and lean
Bugle in hand, chasing thunder, where the grass runs green

(Verse 2)
Seventeen in the saddle, Dragoons riding wide
First taste of danger where the creek meets the sky
He stood five-foot-nine, sharp like morning light
Clear-headed, quick-moving, with courage burning bright

(Chorus)
Outlaw stories in his veins, rolling dice beneath desert stars
A restless soul with a steady gaze, and trails etched deep in scars
They said “give a man a chance”—that was Langford’s creed
He was the kind you follow, when you’re running wild and free

(Verse 3)
Fought and roamed from Salt Lake sun to Leavenworth’s muddy rain
Married young, raised a son, Percival by name
Gambler’s charm and soldier’s pride drew him west again
Some called him Farmer Peel, others simply called him friend

(Chorus)
Outlaw stories in his veins, rolling dice beneath desert stars
A restless soul with a steady gaze, and trails etched deep in scars
They said “give a man a chance”—that was Langford’s creed
He was the kind you follow, when you’re running wild and free

(Bridge)
But Helena’s shadows caught him,
Walking arm in arm one evening slow
A figure stood waiting, with silence in his hands
Her grip slowed his stride—he missed the final chance
Two echoes broke the stillness, and the sky forgot to glow

(Verse 4)
They searched for answers, but the dust swept them away
Truth got tangled in the words folks say
Langford’s story drifts where the wind runs clean
With a Harvard tongue, gambler’s heart, and fire in between

(Chorus)
Outlaw stories in his veins, rolling dice beneath desert stars
A restless soul with a steady gaze, and trails etched deep in scars
They said “give a man a chance”—that was Langford’s creed
He was the kind you follow, when you’re running wild and free

(Outro)
Mark Twain wrote the legend, called him “Farmer Pease”
But out here where the wind blows, he’s just Langford Peel to me
For drifters and dreamers chasing what can’t be seen
We whisper of Farmer Peel—and the wild, untamed dream
