Sherman Edwards - Momma, Look Sharp lyrics

Momma, hey momma Come lookin' for me I'm here in the meadow By the red maple tree Momma, hey momma Look sharp, here I be Hey, hey Momma, look sharp Them soldiers, they fired Oh, ma, did we run But then we turned 'round And the battle begun Then I went under Oh, ma, am I done Hey, hey Momma, look sharp My eyes are wide open My face to the sky Is that you I'm hearing In the tall gra** nearby Momma, come find me Before I do die Hey, hey Momma, look sharp I'll close your eyes, my Billy Them eyes that cannot 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
