Connie Dover - 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 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
