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