Bright sunny south

by Alison Krauss

From the bright sunny south to the war, I was sent,
E´er the days of my boyhood, I scarcely had spent.
From it´s cool shady forests and deep flowing streams,
Ever fond in my mem´ry and sweet in my dreams.

Oh, my dear little sister, I still see her tears.
When I had to leave home in our tender years.
And my sweet gentle mother, so dear to my heart,
It grieved me sincerely when we had to part.

Said my kind-hearted father as he took my hand:
"As you go in defence of our dear native land,
"Son, be brave but show mercy whenever you can.
"Our hearts will be with you, ´til you ´turn again."

In my bag there´s a bible to show me the way,
Through my twelfth year on earth and to Heaven some day.
I will shoulder my musket and brandish my sword,
In defence of this land and the word of the Lord.
