Her eyes shown like silver hair flowing like the river with a color fair as yellow bright leaf How an East Virginia daughter of a wealthy Richmond lawyer could love a poor tobacco farmer like me But we were soon wed together lost in love with each other and I called my darling lover, Bright Leaf Then one morning brought a letter she was crying as I told her I was drafted to the rebel infantry Three years debt in service to fighting with no purpose But to only stay alive till I could see My little Bright Leaf My little Bright Leaf She wrote in every letter she'd love me longer than forever like the mountain Heather that's Evergreen The thought of her keeps me warm through the bloodshed and the storms I would fight a hundred wars for my Bright Leaf On the last year in December, cold and hungry from the winter, a letter was delivered unto me It was from my darling's father writing that his only daughter is waiting in heaven for me Now I'm running through the pines, I deserted from the lines They will fire at the very sight of me I heard shots from the ridgeline felt a sharp pain in my side and beckoned another bullet on my knees Till the darkness filled my eyes and I could see My little Bright Leaf My little Bright Leaf Her eyes showing like silver hair flowing like the river with a color fairest yellow Bright Leaf
