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