[Verse]
C G Am
In Bruton town there lived a farmer
C D Em
Who had two sons and a daughter dear
C G Am
By day and night they were conspiring
G Am
To fill their parents' heart with fear
[Verse]
C G Am
One brother said unto the other
C D Em
“I think our servant courts our sister dear
C G Am
I'll put an end to all their courtship
G Am
I'll send him silent to his grave”
[Verse]
C G Am
They ask-ed him to go a-hunting
C D Em
Without any fear or strife
C G Am
And these two bold and wicked villains
G Am
They took away this young man's life
[Verse]
C G Am
And in the ditch, there was no water
C D Em
Where only bush and briars grew
C G Am
They could not hide the bloody slaughter
G Am
So in the ditch his body they threw
[Verse]
C G Am
When they return-ed home from hunting
C D Em
She ask-ed for her servant man
C G Am
“I ask because I see you whisper
G Am
So brothers tell me if you can”
[Verse]
C G Am
“Oh, sister, sister, you do offend me
C D Em
Because you so examine me
C G Am
We've lost him where we've been a-hunting
G Am
No more of him we could not see”
[Verse]
C G Am
As she lay dreaming on her pillow
C D Em
She thought she saw her heart's delight
C G Am
By her bedside as she lay weeping
G Am
He was dressed all in his bloody coat
[Verse]
C G Am
“Don't weep for me, my dearest jewel
C D Em
Don't weep for me nor care or pine
C G Am
For your two brothers killed me cruel
G Am
In such a place you may me find”
[Verse]
C G Am
As she arose the very next morning
C D Em
With heavy sigh and bitter groan
C G Am
The only love that she admired
G Am
She found in the ditch where he was thrown
[Verse]
C G Am
The blood upon his lips was drying
C D Em
Her tears were salter than brine
C G Am
She sometimes kissed him, sometimes crying
G Am
“Here lies the dearest love of mine”
[Verse]
C G Am
Three days and nights she did sit by him
C D Em
And her poor heart was filled with woe
C G Am
Till cruel hunger crept upon her
G Am
And homeward she then did go
[Verse]
C G Am
When she return-ed to her brothers
C D Em
“Sister, what makes you look so thin?”
C G Am
“Brother, don't you ask the reason
G Am
And for his sake ye shall be hung”
