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