[Verse 1]

From the bright sunny south to the war, I was sent,

Ever fond in my mem'ry and sweet in my dreams.

Oh, my dear little 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,

It grieved me sincerely when we had to part.

Said my kind-hearted father as he took my hand:

"As you go in defense of our dear native land,

In my bag there's a bible to show me the way,

Through my trials here on earth and to Heaven some day.

I will shoulder my musket and brandish my sword,

In defense of this land and the word of the Lord.
