Lyrics

(Um, I think this time we have a traditional song
So, um, about right? I got it right
It's called Bruton Town
In Bruton Town there lived a farmer
He had two sons and a daughter
Uh, the daughter falls in love with a servant in the house
And the brothers get together and they don't dig him very much
They don't really like this sort, with the servant and all that
So they take the servant out into the woods and they, on the pretext of hunting, and they do him in
Ah, he, that, that's about the end of the story)

One, two, three

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

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
