A Bruton Farmer Lyrics – The Wilderness Yet
Singer: The Wilderness Yet
Title: A Bruton Farmer
Now a Burton farmer, as you shall hear
He had two sons and one daughter dear
A servantman she much admired
None in the world she loved so dear
Said one brother to the other:
“See how our sister means to wed
Let all such a courtship now soon be ended:
We’ll hoist him unto some silent grave.”
They called for him to go a-hunting
He went out without any fear or strife
And these two jewels they proved so cruel:
Thеy took away that young man’s life
It was near the creek whеre there was no water
Nothing but bushes and briars grew
All for to hide their cruel slaughter
Into the bushes his body threw
When they returned from the field of hunting
She began to enquire for her servantman:
“Come, brothers, tell me, because you whisper:
Come, brothers, tell me if you can.”
“Sister, we are so much amazed
To see you look so much hard at we
We met him where we’d been a-hunting
No more of him then did we see.”
And she lay musing all on her pillow
She dreamed she saw her true love stand
By her bedside he stood lamenting
All covered with some bloody wounds
“Nancy, dear, don’t you weep for me now
Pray Nancy, dear, don’t weep nor pine
In that creek where there is no water
Go and there you shall my body find.”
So she rose early the very next morning
With many a sigh and bitter groan
In that place where her true love told her
It’s there she found his body thrown
The blood all on his lips was drying
His tears were salter than any brine
And as she kissed him, she’s loudly crying:
“Here lies a bosom friend of mine.”
Three nights and days she stayed lamenting
Till her poor heart was filled with woe
Until sharp hunger came creeping on her:
And homeward she was forced to go
“Sister, we are so much amazed
To see you look so pale and wan.”
“Brothers, I know you know the reason
And for the same you shall be hanged!”
These two brothers both were taken
And bound all down in some prison strong
They both were tried, found out as guilty
And for the same they both were hung
