This is the version that is sung here:
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 lost its sting
Because I love my Jesus.
Oh tell my wife she must not weep
Oh kiss my little children,
For they will call for me in vain,
When I am gone,
When I am gone,
When I am gone, into Heaven.
To Heaven...

What a beautiful arrangement of a poweful American Tradition. Mack Wilberg is an extraordinary composer and the King's Singers bring such a beautiful light to his work. Bravo!

Two weeks ago I heard Him singing this wonderful song in a concert here, in Hungary. I was speechless, breathless. Even could not move for moments after it ended! He has indeed a rich and beautifully resonating tone, even without any loudening.

The King singer's are the best and this song is for all the soldiers that have gone before Zoe Wilson

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 lost its sting
because 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 vain
when I am gone, (when I am gone)
when I am gone, (when I am gone)
when i am gone into heaven.
