Bright Sunny South Chords by Alison Krauss & Union Station

[A] _ From the bright sunny south to [E] the water I was sent, ere the days of my boyhood I scarcely had spent.
_ From its cool shaded forests and deep flowing streams, ever fond in my memory and sweet
[A] in my _ [Em] dreams.

_ _ _ [A] _ _ Oh my dear little [E] 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, yet grieved me sincerely [Em] when we had [A] to _ part.

Said my kind hearted [E] father as he took my hand, as you go in defense of our dear native land.
Son be brave but show mercy whenever you can, our hearts will be with [Em] you till you [A] return again. _ _

_ _ [A] _ _ In my bag there's a bible [E] to show me the way, through my trials here on earth and to heaven someday. _ _
I will shoulder my musket and brandish my sword, in defense of this land and the word
[Em] of the _ _ [A] Lord. _ _ _
