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
