New Dying Soldier Lyrics
Oh, brother Green
Won't you come to me?
For I am shot and bleeding
Dig me a grave
And stow me away
For I am not shovelin'
And every war is a rich man's war
And every fight a failure
Please know that we
Are not your enemy
Please know that we forgive you
I grew up on a battlefield
Where boys lay dead and dying
Don't tread on we, oh brother Green
To reach you, I am trying
Jim Riley, he nearly starved you see
Faced every shell at Vicksburg
The western shore
He swam until he reached
And I still hear that water
I will not fear that water
Won't you come to me?
For I am shot and bleeding
Dig me a grave
And stow me away
For I am not shovelin'
And every fight a failure
Please know that we
Are not your enemy
Please know that we forgive you
Where boys lay dead and dying
Don't tread on we, oh brother Green
To reach you, I am trying
Faced every shell at Vicksburg
The western shore
He swam until he reached
And I still hear that water
I will not fear that water
