Momma Look Sharp

[Verse 1]

Momma, hey momma

Come looking for me

I'm here in the meadow

By the red maple tree

Momma, hey momma

Look sharp, here I'll be

Hey, hey momma, look sharp

[Verse 2]

Them soldiers they fired

Oh ma, did we run?

But when we turn around

The battle be dark

Then I went under

Ah ma, am I done?

Hey, hey momma, look sharp

[Verse 3]

My eyes are wide open

My face to the sky

Is that you, I'm hearing

In the tall grass near by?

Ah momma, come and find me

Before I do die

Hey, hey momma, look sharp

[Verse 4]

I'll close your eyes, my Billy

Them eyes that can not see

And I'll bury you, my Billy

Beneath the maple tree

And never again

Will you whisper to me

"Hey, hey, oh momma, look sharp"
