Clifton Hicks - The Dying Soldier (Brother Green) Kentucky Civil War Ballad from Buell Kazee

Banjo Heritage 👉   / cliftonhicks   I learned "Brother Green" (The Dying Soldier) from a 1920s recording of Rev. Buell Kazee of Magoffin County, Kentucky. My instrument is an 1888 Thompson & Odell "The Luscomb" banjo tuned eBEG♯B (three frets below gDGBD). I'm using La Bella No. 17 nylon strings, and a 5/8" maple bridge by Joel Hooks. Oh brother Green come kneel by me For I am shot and bleeding, Now I must die no more to see My wife and my dear children. The southern foe has laid me low On this cold ground to suffer, Stay brother stay and lay me away And write my wife a letter. Tell her that I'm prepared to die And that we'll meet in Heaven, For I believe in Jesus Christ My sins are all forgiven. Go tell my wife she must not grieve Go kiss my dearest children, For they will call for me in vain When I am gone to heaven. SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/clifton...
