Brother Green Lyrics

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

[ Connie Dover Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
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

Oh Brother Green, please come to me
For I am shot and bleeding
Dear brother, stay, and put me away
