Bright Sunny South - Alderon Tyran

To revisit a set of songs I've not been adding to lately, This is a beautiful Southerner song from the Civil War South. This song has a lot of different lyrics so I decided to go for one of my preferred lyrics. If people are interested, I may post another version with all 12 verses! Lyrics Below as Always. Lyrics: In the bright sunny south, in peace and content These days of my boyhood I scarcely have spent From the deep flowing spring to the broad flowing streams Ever dear to my memory, sweeter is my dream I lay aside my confinements and comfort of life The dangers of warfare, provision and strife I have come to come close and reply with my word As I shoulder my rifle, and march to battle’s blurr My father looked sad as he bid me to part My mother embraced me with anguish of heart And my beautiful sister looked pale in her woe As she hugged me and blessed me, told me to go Dear father, dear father for me do not weep I'm a lonesome man and I mean that for to keep The dangers of war I intend for to share And for sickness and death I intend to prepare Dear mother, dear mother for me do not weep For a mother´s 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 our own native land Dear sister, dear sister, I'm afeared of your woe Your grief and your sorrow, they trouble me so I must be going, for here I cannot stand I'm going in defense of your own native land Many thanks to Kaiser Cat Cinema for their rendition which inspired this one:    • Bright Sunny South - Rachel Hardy x Kaiser...
