For I am shot and bleeding...

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
