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 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 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 I'll close your eyes, my baby 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
