From the bright sunny South to the war I was sent, |
| [00:36.80] |
Ere the days of my boyhood I scarcely had spent. |
| [00:45.02] |
From its cool shady forests and deep flowing streams, |
| [00:52.67] |
Ever fond in my mem'ry ever sweet in my dreams. |
| [01:02.04] |
Oh, my dear little sister I still see her tears, |
| [01:09.17] |
When I had to leave home in our tender years. |
| [01:17.44] |
And my sweet gentle mother, so dear to my heart, |
| [01:24.68] |
It grieved me sincerely when we had to part. |
| [01:34.29] |
Said my kind-hearted father as he took my hand: |
| [01:41.04] |
"As you go in defense of our dear native land, |
| [01:49.30] |
Son, be brave but show mercy whenever you can. |
| [01:56.61] |
Our hearts will be with you, 'til you return again." |
| [02:37.44] |
In my bag there's a Bible to show me the way, |
| [02:43.89] |
Through my trials here on earth and to Heaven some day. |
| [02:52.30] |
I will shoulder my musket and brandish my sword, |
| [02:59.28] |
In defense of this land and the Word of the Lord. |
| [03:08.86] |
From the bright sunny South to the war I was sent, |
| [03:15.23] |
Ere the days of my boyhood I scarcely had spent. |
| [03:23.68] |
From its cool shady forests and deep flowing streams, |
| [03:30.75] |
Ever fond in my mem'ry ever sweet in my dreams. |
