Bright Sunny South

[00:17.93] In the bright sunny south in peace and content
[00:22.87] The days of my boyhood, I scarcely have spent
[00:27.16] From the deep flowing spring to the broad flowing stream
[00:31.65] Ever dear to my memory, and sweet is my dream
[00:37.67]
[00:53.43] I'll leave my confinement and comfort of life
[00:58.25] The danger of bloodshed, provision, and strife
[01:04.14] I've come to conclose and reply with my word
[01:08.31] As I shoulder my musket and billet my sword
[01:30.36] My father looked sad as he begged me to part
[01:35.07] And my mother embraced me with anguish of heart
[01:38.61] And my beautiful sister looked pale in her woe
[01:44.38] As she grabbed me and blessed me and told me to go
[02:06.15] Dear father, dear father, for me do not weep
[02:10.31] For on some high mountain, I mean for to sleep
[02:15.13] And the danger of war, I intend for to share
[02:19.61] And for sickness and death, I intend to prepare
[02:42.37] Dear mother, dear mother, for me do not weep
[02:47.19] For a mother's kind voice I ever will keep
[02:51.89] You have taught me be brave from a boy to a man
[02:56.39] And I'm going in defense of her own native land
[03:01.62] Dear sister, dear sister, I cannot tell the woe
[03:06.63] Your tears and your sorrow, they trouble me so
[03:11.48] I must be a-going for here I cannot stand
[03:15.65] For I'm going in defense of her own native land
[03:40.63]
