Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Trad
[00:30.52] From the bright sunny South to the war I was sent,
[00:36.80] Ere the days of my boyhood I scarcely had spent.
[00:45.02] From its cool shady forests and deep flowing streams,
[00:52.67] Ever fond in my mem'ry ever sweet in my dreams.
[01:02.04] Oh, my dear little sister I still see her tears,
[01:09.17] When I had to leave home in our tender years.
[01:17.44] And my sweet gentle mother, so dear to my heart,
[01:24.68] It grieved me sincerely when we had to part.
[01:34.29] Said my kind-hearted father as he took my hand:
[01:41.04] "As you go in defense of our dear native land,
[01:49.30] Son, be brave but show mercy whenever you can.
[01:56.61] Our hearts will be with you, 'til you return again."
[02:37.44] In my bag there's a Bible to show me the way,
[02:43.89] Through my trials here on earth and to Heaven some day.
[02:52.30] I will shoulder my musket and brandish my sword,
[02:59.28] In defense of this land and the Word of the Lord.
[03:08.86] From the bright sunny South to the war I was sent,
[03:15.23] Ere the days of my boyhood I scarcely had spent.
[03:23.68] From its cool shady forests and deep flowing streams,
[03:30.75] Ever fond in my mem'ry ever sweet in my dreams.
