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