[00:00.21]Pentangle"Bruton Town"[00:04.86]In Bruton town there lived a farmer,[00:08.73]Who had two sons and one daughter dear.[00:10.59]By day and night they were contriving[00:16.23]To fill their parents' heart with fear.[00:27.96]He told his secrets to no other,[00:32.10]But unto her brother this he said:'[00:35.31]I think our servant courts our sister.[00:39.12]I think they has a great mind to wed.[00:42.42]I'll put an end to all their courtship.[00:46.26]I'll send him silent to his grave.'[00:58.29]They asked him to go a-hunting,[01:02.28]Without any fear or strife,[01:05.82]And these two bold and wicked villains,[01:09.42]They took away this young man's life.[01:21.60]And in the ditch there was no water,[01:25.53]Where only bush and briars grew.[01:28.68]They could not hide the blood of slaughter,[01:32.55]So in the ditch his body they threw.[01:52.02]When they returned home from hunting,[01:57.84]She asked for her servant-man."I ask because I see you whisper,So brothers tell me if you can.""O sister, you do offend me,Because you so examine me.We've lost him where we've been a-hunting.No more of him we could not see."[02:27.66]As she lay dreaming on her pillow,[02:31.20]She thought she saw her heart's delight;[02:36.00]By her bed side as she lay weeping,[02:39.81]He was dressed all in his bloody coat."Don't weep for me, my dearest jewel,Don't weep for me nor care nor pine,For your two brothers killed me so cruel-In such a place you may me find."[04:30.99]As she rose early the very next morning,[04:34.65]With heavy sigh and bitter groan,[04:40.83]The only love that she admired,[04:42.03]She found in the ditch where he was thrown.[04:43.65]Three days and nights she did sit by him,[04:55.35]And her poor heart was filled with woe,[04:59.22]Till cruel hunger crept upon her,[05:00.18]And home she was obliged to go.
