"Bruton Town"

In Bruton town there a farmer,
Who had two and one daughter dear.
By day and night they contriving
To fill their parents' with fear.

He told his to no other,
But unto her brother he said:
'I think our servant our sister.
I think they has a mind to wed.
put an end to all their courtship.
I'll send him to his grave.'

They him to go a-hunting,
Without any or strife,
And these two and wicked villains,
They away this young man's life.

And in the ditch was no water,
Where bush and briars grew.
They not hide the blood of slaughter,
So in the ditch his body threw.

When they returned from hunting,
She for her servant-man.
"I ask I see you whisper,
So tell me if you can."

"O sister, you do me,
you so examine me.
We've lost him we've been a-hunting.
No of him we could not see."

As she lay on her pillow,
She thought she saw her delight;
By her bed as she lay weeping,
He was all in his bloody coat.

"Don't weep for me, my jewel,
weep for me nor care nor pine,
For your two brothers me so cruel-
In such a you may me find."

As she rose the very next morning,
With heavy and bitter groan,
The only that she admired,
She in the ditch where he was thrown.

days and nights she did sit by him,
And her heart was filled with woe,
Till hunger crept upon her,
And she was obliged to go.
