[Fm] _ _ Oh my dear little sister, I still see her [Cm] tears, when I had to leave [Fm] home in our [Eb] tender years.
And [Cm] my sweet gentle mother, so [Fm] dear [Cm] to my heart, it grieved [Fm] me sincerely when we had to part.
Said my kind hearted father as [Cm] he took my hand, as you go in defense of [Fm] our [Eb] dear native _ land.
[Gm] Son be [Fm] brave but show mercy whenever [Cm] you can, our hearts will be with you till you return [Fm] again. _ _ _ _ _

_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ In my back there's a bible to [Cm] show me the way, through my trials to [Fm] earth and to heaven [Eb] someday. _
[Cm] I will shoulder my [Fm] musket and brandish my sword, in [Cm] defense of this land and the word of the [Fm] Lord.
