[Bm]
My Brobuck is [D] my sweetheart's [A] name, he's after the [Bm] wars and gone
He's fighting [D] for his nanny dear, [A] his sword is [Bm] buckled on
[D] He's [G] fighting for [D] his own true [A] love, [Bm] his foes he [A] does defy
[Bm] He is the darling [D] of my heart, [A] my southern [Bm] soldier boy
[A] [D] [Bm]
Oh if in [D] battle he were slain, [A] I'm sure that I [Bm] should die
But I'm [D] sure he'll come again [A] and cheer my weeping [Bm] eye
[D] But should [G] he fall [D] and lose our [A] glorious cause, [Bm] he still would be [A] my joy
[Bm] For many a sweetheart [D] mourns the [A] loss of a southern [Bm] soldier boy
I [D]
[G] [D]
[A] [Bm] [A]
[Bm] [D]
[A] [Bm]
hope for the best, [D] so do [A] all whose hopes are [Bm] in the sea
I know that [D] we shall win the day [A] if the southerns never [Bm] yield
[D] And when [G] we [F#m] think [D] of those who [A] are away, [Bm] we'll look [A] above for joy
And [Bm] I'm mighty glad [D] that my Bobby [A] is a southern [Bm] soldier boy
[A] [Bm]
