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