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