歌曲歌詞
In Bruton town there lived a farmer
Who had two sons and one daughter dear
By day and night they were contriving
To fill their parents' heart with fear
He told his secrets to no other
But unto her brother this he said
I think our servant courts our sister
I think they has a great mind to wed
I'll put an end to all their courtship
I'll send him silent to his grave
They asked him to go a hunting
Without any fear or strife
And these two bold and wicked villains
They took away this young man's life
And in the ditch there was no water
Where only bush and briars grew
They could not hide the blood of slaughter
So in the ditch his body they threw
When they returned home from hunting
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
As she lay dreaming on her pillow
She thought she saw her heart's delight;
By her bed side as she lay weeping
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
As she rose early the very next morning
With heavy sigh and bitter groan
The only love that she admired
She found in the ditch where he was thrown
Three days and nights she did sit by him
And her poor heart was filled with woe
Till cruel hunger crept upon her
And home she was obliged to go
