Bruton Town - Pentangle[00:00:00]
In Bruton town there lived a farmer [00:00:05]
Who had two sons and one daughter dear [00:00:09]
By day and night they were contriving[00:00:12]
To fill their parents' heart with fear [00:00:16]
He told his secrets to no other [00:00:28]
But unto her brother this he said[00:00:32]
I think our servant courts our sister [00:00:35]
I think they has a great mind to wed [00:00:39]
I'll put an end to all their courtship [00:00:42]
I'll send him silent to his grave [00:00:46]
They asked him to go a hunting [00:00:58]
Without any fear or strife [00:01:02]
And these two bold and wicked villains [00:01:05]
They took away this young man's life [00:01:09]
And in the ditch there was no water [00:01:22]
Where only bush and briars grew [00:01:25]
They could not hide the blood of slaughter [00:01:29]
So in the ditch his body they threw [00:01:32]
When they returned home from hunting [00:01:52]
She asked for her servant man [00:01:55]
I ask because I see you whisper [00:02:00]
So brothers tell me if you can [00:02:04]
O sister you do offend me [00:02:09]
Because you so examine me [00:02:12]
We've lost him where we've been a hunting [00:02:17]
No more of him we could not see [00:02:21]
As she lay dreaming on her pillow [00:02:27]
She thought she saw her heart's delight;[00:02:31]
By her bed side as she lay weeping [00:02:36]
He was dressed all in his bloody coat [00:02:39]
Don't weep for me my dearest jewel [00:02:44]
Don't weep for me nor care nor pine [00:02:48]
For your two brothers killed me so cruel[00:02:53]
In such a place you may me find [00:02:56]
As she rose early the very next morning [00:04:31]
With heavy sigh and bitter groan [00:04:35]
The only love that she admired [00:04:38]
She found in the ditch where he was thrown [00:04:41]
Three days and nights she did sit by him [00:04:50]
And her poor heart was filled with woe [00:04:55]
Till cruel hunger crept upon her [00:04:59]
And home she was obliged to go[00:05:04]
