Peter Gray (song)
"Peter Gray" is an American ballad about a young man whose fiancee is sent out west (Ohio) after her father discovers their plan to wed. The man goes west and is scalped by Indians.[1] The song appears to date back to at least 1858.[2] It was recorded by Burl Ives on 3 March 1941[3] for his debut album Okeh Presents the Wayfaring Stranger. It has also been recorded by Ed McCurdy and Mike Seeger,[4] and by Tapio Rautavaara in Finnish (1952).[5]
