[Intro] Am C G Am Am C D Em Em C G Am Am G Am [Verse]
In Bruton Ctown there Glived a farAmmer Who had two Csons and a Ddaughter Emdear By day and Cnight they Gwere conAmspiring To fill their parGents' heart with Amfear
[Verse]
One brother Csaid unGto the Amother “I think our Cservant courts our Dsister Emdear I'll put an Cend to Gall their Amcourtship I'll send him Gsilent to his Amgrave”
[Verse]
They ask-ed Chim to Ggo a-huntAming Without Cany Dfear or Emstrife And these two Cbold and Gwicked vilAmlains They took away this Gyoung man's Amlife
[Verse]
And in the Cditch, there Gwas no waAmter Where only Cbush and Dbriars Emgrew They could not Chide the Gbloody slaughAmter So in the ditch his Gbody they Amthrew
[Verse]
When they reCturn-ed Ghome from huntAming She ask-ed Cfor her Dservant Emman “I ask beCcause I Gsee you whisAmper So brothers Gtell me if you Amcan”
[Verse]
“Oh, sister, Csister, you Gdo offend Amme Because you Cso exDamine Emme We've lost him Cwhere we've Gbeen a-huntAming No more of Ghim we could not Amsee”
[Verse]
As she lay Cdreaming Gon her pilAmlow She thought she Csaw her Dheart's deEmlight By her bedCside as Gshe lay weepAming He was dressed all Gin his bloody Amcoat
[Verse]
“Don't weep for Cme, my Gdearest jewAmel Don't weep for Cme nor Dcare or Empine For your two Cbrothers Gkilled me cruAmel In such a place Gyou may me Amfind”
[Verse]
As she aCrose the Gvery next mornAming With heavy Csigh and Dbitter Emgroan The only Clove that Gshe admiAmred She found in the Gditch where he was Amthrown
[Verse]
The blood uCpon his Glips was Amdrying Her tears were Csalter Dthan Embrine She sometimes Ckissed him, Gsometimes cryAming “Here lies the Gdearest love of Ammine”
[Verse]
Three days and Cnights she Gdid sit by Amhim And her poor Cheart was Dfilled with Emwoe Till cruel Chunger Gcrept upon Amher And homeward Gshe then did Amgo
[Verse]
When she reCturn-ed Gto her brothAmers “Sister, what Cmakes you Dlook so Emthin?” “Brother, Cdon't you Gask the reaAmson And for his Gsake ye shall be Amhung”
