Bruton Town |
| In Bruton Town there lived a noble man |
| He had two sons and a daughter fair |
| By night and day they were contriving |
| For to fill their sister’s heart with care |
| One night one night our restless young girl |
| One brother rose up from his bed |
| He heard the servant court their sister |
| Oh he heard they had a mind to wed |
| Oh when he rose the very next morning |
| Went searching for the servant-man |
| And when he found him this young man he murdered |
| Oh left him lying in the briars around |
| Oh she went to bed a-crying and lamenting |
| And thinking of her own true love |
| And as she slept she dreamt that she saw him |
| A-lying in the countryside all covered with gore and blood |
| Oh brothers, brothers why do you whisper |
| And what’s become of this servant man? |
| Oh we lost him when we were a-contending |
| We lost him were he won’t ever be found |
| Oh she early rose the very next morning |
| And searched the countryside around |
| And there she saw her own dear jewel |
| A-lying in the briars where he’d been found |
| Three days and nights she’d lie by him |
| She thought her heart it would break with woe |
| When a cruel hunger came upon her |
| And in despair to her home she did go |
| Oh sister, sister why do you whisper |
| And won’t you tell us where you’ve been |
| Stand off, stand off you bloody butchers |
| My love and I you have all slain |
