Sam Amidon - Bright Sunny South lyrics

In the bright sunny south and peace and content These days of my boyhood I scarcely have spent From the deep following spring to the broad flowing stream Ever dear to my memory, sweeter is my dream I lay my confinement and comfort alike The dangers of warfare, provision and strife I have come to come close and reply with my word As I shoulder my musket but I’ll take my sword My father looked sad as he begged me to part My mother embraced me with anguish of heart And my beautiful sister looked pale in her role As she hugged me and blessed me, told me to go Dear father, dear father for me do not wait I’m along to a man and I mean for to keep The dangers of war I intend for to share And for sickness and d**h I intend to prepare sponsored links Dear mother, dear mother for me do not wait For a while this kind voice I ever will keep You have taught me be brave from a boy to a man And I’m going in defense of her own native land Dear sister, dear sister, I’m a’feared of your woe Your grief and your sorrow, they trouble me so I must be going for here I cannot stay I’m going in defense of her own native land
