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