Alison Krauss、Union Station - Bright Sunny South
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
