Bright Sunny South - Doc & Merle Watson[00:00:00]
From the bright sunny south to the war I was sent[00:00:06]
E'er the days of my boyhood I scarcely had spent[00:00:12]
From it's cool shady forests and deep flowing streams[00:00:18]
Ever fond in my mem'ry and sweet in my dreams[00:00:24]
Oh my dear little sister I still see her tears[00:00:53]
When I had to leave home in our tender years[00:00:58]
And my sweet gentle mother so dear to my heart[00:01:04]
It grieved me sincerely when we had to part[00:01:10]
Said my kind hearted father as he took my hand[00:01:16]
"As you go in defense of our dear native land[00:01:21]
"Son be brave but show mercy whenever you can[00:01:28]
"Our hearts will be with you 'til you 'turn again[00:01:34]
In my bag there's a Bible to show me the way[00:02:02]
Through my twelfth year on earth and to Heaven some day[00:02:07]
I will shoulder my musket and brandish my sword[00:02:14]
In defense of this land and the word of the Lord[00:02:19]
