The Dead South You are my Sunshine song was released in 2021 as a track for an upcoming album.
In 2012, four friend formed this band.  The Dead South is comprised of Nate Hilts on guitar and vocals and Scott Pringle on mandolin and vocals, with Colton Crawford on banjo and Danny Kenyon on cello. Based in Saskatchewan, the band has earned a rowdy reputation through almost non-stop touring (until COVID).  The group alternately describe themselves as a rock band without a drummer, or a bluegrass band without a fiddle.   This bluegrass quartet puts a different spin on this classic song and it is well worth a listen.

The Dead South You are my Sunshine Lyrics

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I bowed my head and I cried
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away
I’ll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You’ll regret it all some day
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you’ve left me to love another
You have shattered all of my dreams
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away
Please don’t take my sunshine away
