1. 
         Am                    G                              
In the bright sunny south, in peace and content 
       Am                    G 
These days of my boyhood I scarcely have spent 
          Am                          G 
From the deep flowing spring to the broad flowing streAm 
      Am                                G                     
Ever dear to my memory, sweeter is my dreAm 



2. 
   Am                     G 
I lay my confinement and comfort of life 
     Am                     G 
The dangers of warfare, provision and strife 
        Am                        G 
I have come to come close and reply with my word 
       Am                            G 
As I shoulder my musket, belted my sword 


3. 
    Am                      G 
My father looked sad as he bid me to part 
    Am                     G 
My mother embraced me with anguish of heart 
        Am                      G 
And my beautiful sister looked pale in her woe 
       Am                                    G 
As she hugged me and blessed me, told me to go 


4. 
      Am                      G 
Dear father, dear father for me do not weep 
       Am                 G 
I'm a lonesome man and I mean for to keep 
     Am                 G 
The dangers of war I intend for to share 
         Am                                G 
And for sickness and death I intend to prepare 


5. 
      Am                      G 
Dear mother, dear mother for me do not weep 
       Am                   G 
For a mother´s kind voice I ever will keep 
         Am                         G 
You have taught me be brave from a boy to a man 
         Am                                 G 
And I'm going in defense of her own native land 


6. 
     Am                         G 
Dear sister, dear sister, I'm afeared of your woe 
       Am                          G 
Your grief and your sorrow, they trouble me so 
Am                    G 
I must be going, for here I cannot stand 
     Am                                 G 
I'm going in defense of her own native land
