Brother Green

Oh Brother Green, please come to me
 For I am shot and bleeding
 Dear brother, stay, and put me away
 And write my love a letter
 Tell her I know she's prayed for me
 And now her prayers are answered
 That I might be prepared to die
 If I should fall in battle
 The Northern foe has laid me low
 On this cold ground to suffer
 And now to heaven I will fly
 To see my dear old mother
 Go tell my love she must not grieve
 Go kiss my little sisters
 For they will call their brother in vain
 When he is up in heaven
 I have one brother in this wide world
 He's fighting for the Union
 But oh, dear love, I've lost my life
 And I shall die a Southern
 My darlin' girl, I love her well
 Oh could I once more see her
 That I might give a sweet farewell
 And meet again in heaven
