A horrid little mini-epic poem. Bold choice of subject matter as well, the gay brigand lovers. The word ‘camo’ felt out of place, though I know it fit the rhyme. (I don’t think the respective uses of camoflage and stagecoaches overlapped, but I could be wrong.)
The second to last stanza got a little confusing, and I think it was the use of ‘but’, which implies something contrary to something else, which I couldn’t really find.

I got lost during the scuffle. At first I couldn’t figure out who was fighing who. But after re-reding, I got it! All was cleared up at the end, sort of. Jamie was not his son, ooh bad secret, dad.

i think daniel was disowned.. and jamie liked daniel’s dad, maybe more than daniel himself.. and daniel killed him out of jealousy, covering it over with a robbery. But daniel was hanged, and his point was made, if he couldn’t have jamie, no one could..

See, I thought that Jamie and Daniel’s dad were having an affair, and that’s why Daniel killed Jamie and disowned his father. Bill, some clarity??

I think you’ve pretty much covered it between you! I intended that Jamie had had an affair with Daniel’s dad and Daniel had found out about it, and decided that either he had Jamie or nobody did. I agree, the first verse isn’t really clear enough, but I ran out of words. Ballads are often quite a lot longer!
Thanks for all the comments though, I get the impression it’s mostly liked.

Yay, I was right!! Dirty, dirty gay ruffians…

I liked it quite a bit, a moment confusing, but like you mentioned you could have use a couple more words. Dark, yet had a very nice rhythm.
