Momma, Look Sharp Lyrics
[COURIER]
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 hearin'
In the tall grass nearby?
Momma, come find me
Before I do die
Hey, hey
Momma, look sharp
[COURIER, ANDREW MCNAIR & LEATHER APRON]
I'll close your eyes, my Billy
Them eyes that cannot see
And I'll bury ya, my Billy
Beneath the maple tree
[COURIER]
And never again
Will you whisper to me
Hey, hey
Oh, Momma, look sharp
