a bruton farmer lyrics
[verse 1]
now a burton farmer, as you shall hear
he had two sons and one daughter dear
a servantman she much admired
none in the world she loved so dear
[verse 2]
said one brother to the other:
“see how our sister means to wed
let all such a courtship now soon be ended:
we’ll hoist him unto some silent grave.”
[verse 3]
they called for him to go a~hunting
he went out without any fear or strife
and these two jewels they proved so cruel:
thеy took away that young man’s life
[verse 4]
it was near the creek whеre there was no water
nothing but bushes and briars grew
all for to hide their cruel slaughter
into the bushes his body threw
[verse 5]
when they returned from the field of hunting
she began to enquire for her servantman:
“come, brothers, tell me, because you whisper:
come, brothers, tell me if you can.”
[verse 6]
“sister, we are so much amazed
to see you look so much hard at we
we met him where we’d been a~hunting
no more of him then did we see.”
[verse 7]
and she lay musing all on her pillow
she dreamed she saw her true love stand
by her bedside he stood lamenting
all covered with some bl~~dy wounds
[verse 8]
“nancy, dear, don’t you weep for me now
pray nancy, dear, don’t weep nor pine
in that creek where there is no water
go and there you shall my body find.”
[verse 9]
so she rose early the very next morning
with many a sigh and bitter groan
in that place where her true love told her
it’s there she found his body thrown
[verse 10]
the blood all on his lips was drying
his tears were salter than any brine
and as she kissed him, she’s loudly crying:
“here lies a bosom friend of mine.”
[verse 11]
three nights and days she stayed lamenting
till her poor heart was filled with woe
until sharp hunger came creeping on her:
and homeward she was forced to go
[verse 12]
“sister, we are so much amazed
to see you look so pale and wan.”
“brothers, i know you know the reason
and for the same you shall be hanged!”
[verse 13]
these two brothers both were taken
and bound all down in some prison strong
they both were tried, found out as guilty
and for the same they both were hung
