Oh brother green oh come to me,
for I am shot and bleeding.
Now i must die, no more to see
my wife and my dear children.
The fighting foe has laid me low
on this cold ground, to suffer.
Stay brother, stay and lay me away,
and write my wife a letter.
Oh brother I am dying now,
oh I do die so easy.
Surely death has sting
because I love my Jesus.
(I love, I love my jesus)
Go tell my wife (tell my wife)
she must not grieve.
Go kiss my little children,
for they will call for me in vein
when I am gone, (when I am gone)
when I am gone, (when I am gone)
when i am gone into heaven.
Ah...
end
