《Bruton Town》歌词

[00:00:00] Bruton Town - Pentangle

[00:00:05] In Bruton town there lived a farmer

[00:00:09] Who had two sons and one daughter dear

[00:00:12] By day and night they were contriving

[00:00:16] To fill their parents' heart with fear

[00:00:28] He told his secrets to no other

[00:00:32] But unto her brother this he said

[00:00:35] I think our servant courts our sister

[00:00:39] I think they has a great mind to wed

[00:00:42] I'll put an end to all their courtship

[00:00:46] I'll send him silent to his grave

[00:00:58] They asked him to go a hunting

[00:01:02] Without any fear or strife

[00:01:05] And these two bold and wicked villains

[00:01:09] They took away this young man's life

[00:01:22] And in the ditch there was no water

[00:01:25] Where only bush and briars grew

[00:01:29] They could not hide the blood of slaughter

[00:01:32] So in the ditch his body they threw

[00:01:52] When they returned home from hunting

[00:01:55] She asked for her servant man

[00:02:00] I ask because I see you whisper

[00:02:04] So brothers tell me if you can

[00:02:09] O sister you do offend me

[00:02:12] Because you so examine me

[00:02:17] We've lost him where we've been a hunting

[00:02:21] No more of him we could not see

[00:02:27] As she lay dreaming on her pillow

[00:02:31] She thought she saw her heart's delight;

[00:02:36] By her bed side as she lay weeping

[00:02:39] He was dressed all in his bloody coat

[00:02:44] Don't weep for me my dearest jewel

[00:02:48] Don't weep for me nor care nor pine

[00:02:53] For your two brothers killed me so cruel

[00:02:56] In such a place you may me find

[00:04:31] As she rose early the very next morning

[00:04:35] With heavy sigh and bitter groan

[00:04:38] The only love that she admired

[00:04:41] She found in the ditch where he was thrown

[00:04:50] Three days and nights she did sit by him

[00:04:55] And her poor heart was filled with woe

[00:04:59] Till cruel hunger crept upon her

[00:05:04] And home she was obliged to go
