[Verse 1]
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' hearts with fear
[Verse 2]
He told his secrets to no other
But to her brother this he said
"I think our servant courts our sister
I think they have a mind to wed
I'll put an end to all their courtship
I'll send him silent to his grave"
[Verse 3]
They asked him to go a-hunting
Without any fear or strife
And these two bold and wicked villains
They took away this young man's life
[Verse 4]
And in the ditch there was no water
Where only bush and briars grew
They could not hide the blood of slaughter
So in the ditch his body they threw
