Thread Name: Origin: Sweet Sunny South/We Shall See Her No More
Subject: RE: Sweet Sunny South Origin
"The Bright Sunny South," is in Cox, Folk Songs of the South, from Sam Turman, KY, 1918. The Dock Boggs version is a variety of this. In the second verse, Boggs misheard refinement, and put confinement. I will post the Cox version if there is any interest. Some verses are quite different. Boggs version in thread 6248: Bright Sunny South
