Testo Bruton Town (With Interview) - Pentangle
Testo della canzone Bruton Town (With Interview) (Pentangle), tratta dall'album Live On Air 1967-1969
In a 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
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."
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
And in the ditch there was no water
Where only bush and briars grew
They could not hide the blood or slaughter
So in the ditch his body they threw
When they returned home from hunting
She asked for her young servant man
"I ask because I see you whisper
So brothers, tell me if you can."
"Oh sister, you do offend me
Because you examined me
We've left him where we've been a-hunting
No more of him we could not see."
As she lay dreaming on her pillow
She thought she saw her heart's delight
By her bedside as she lay weeping
He was dressed in his bloody coat
"Don't weep for me, my dearest jewel
Don't weep for me, nor care, nor pine
For your two brothers killed me cruelly
In such a place you may me find."
As she rose early the next morning
With a heavy sigh and a bitter groan
The only love that she admired
Lay in the ditch where he was thrown
Three days and nights she did sit by him
And her poor heart was filled with woe
Till cruel hunger crept upon her
And home she was obliged to go
