Brother Green (The Dying Soldier)- lyrics
Banjo in C tuning cCGCE
performed by Dan D. Dirges
Oh brother Green, please come to me,
For I am shot and bleeding,
Now I must die, no more to see,
My wife and my dear children.
The southern foe has layed me low,
On this cold ground to suffer,
Stay brother stay and lay me away,
And write my wife a letter.
Tell her that I'm prepared to die,
And want to meet her in heaven,
Since I believed in Jesus Christ,
My sins are all forgiven.
My little ones, I love them well,
Oh could I once more see them,
That I might bid them a long farewell,
But we will meet in heaven.
Oh brother Greem I`m dying now,
Oh see I die so easy,
Oh surely death has lost it's sting,
Because I love my Jesus.
Go tell my wife she must not grieve,
Oh kiss my dear little children,
For they will call for me in vain,
Tell Them I`ve gone to heaven.
