Clifton Hicks - The Dying Soldier (Brother Green)
Banjo Heritage 👉 https://patreon.com/CliftonHicks
I learned "Brother Green" (The Dying Soldier) from a 1920s recording of Rev. Buell Kazee of Magoffin County, Kentucky.
My instrument is an 1888 Thompson & Odell "The Luscomb" banjo tuned eBEG♯B (three frets below gDGBD). I'm using La Bella No. 17 nylon strings, and a 5/8" maple bridge by Joel Hooks.
Oh brother Green come kneel by 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 laid 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 that we'll meet in Heaven,
For I believe in Jesus Christ
My sins are all forgiven.
Go tell my wife she must not grieve
Go kiss my dearest children,
For they will call for me in vain
When I am gone to heaven.
