Bright Sunny South

[Intro] 
Em A

[Verse 1]
A                                  Em
 From the bright sunny south to the war, I was sent,
Em
 E'er the days of my boyhood, I scarcely had spent.
Em
 From it's cool shady forests and deep flowing streams,
                                       A      Em Asus4
 Ever fond in my mem'ry and sweet in my dreams.


[Verse 2]
       A                     Em
 Oh, my dear little sister, I still see her tears.
Em
 When I had to leave home in our tender years.
Em
 And my sweet gentle mother, so dear to my heart,
                                       A    Em Asus4
 It grieved me sincerely when we had to part.


[Verse 3]
        A                      Em
 Said my kind-hearted father as he took my hand:
Em
 "As you go in defense of our dear native land,
Em
 "Son, be brave but show mercy whenever you can.
                                             A      Em Asus4
 "Our hearts will be with you, 'til you 'turn again."


[Verse 4]
      A                      Em
 In my bag there's a bible to show me the way,
Em
 Through my trials here on earth and to Heaven some day.
Em
 I will shoulder my musket and brandish my sword,
                                            A    Em Asus4 A
 In defense of this land and the word of the Lord.
