bruton town - tony rose lyrics
in bruton town there lived a farmer
who had two sons and a daughter dear
by day and night they were contriving
to fill their parents’ heart with fear
then said one brother to no other
but unto his brother this he said:
“i think our servant courts our sister
i think they have a mind to wed
if he our servant courts our sister
that’s made from such a shame i’ll say
i’ll put an end to all their courtship
and i’ll send him silent to his grave.”
a day of hunting was prepared
in th-rnywoods where the briars grow
and there they did that young man murder
and in a brook his body they threw
“oh welcome home, my dear young brother
our serving man is he behind?”
“we left him where we’ve been a-hunting
we left him where no man can find.”
she went to bed crying and lamenting
lamenting for her heart’s delight
she slept, she dreamed she saw him by her
all bl–dy red in gory plight
his lovely curls were wet with water
his body all agape with blows
oh love for thee i’m served(?) for murder
and i’m lying now where no man knows
so she rose early the very next morning
unto by yonder wood she spared
and there she found her own dear jewel
in the gory plight so bl–dy red
she took her kerchief from her pocket
she took his head upon her knee
and then she wiped those dear eyes softly
she wiped those eyes that could not see
“and since my brothers have been so cruel
to take your tender sweet life away
one grave shall hold us both together
and along with you in death i’ll stay.”
