[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.
