Momma Look Sharp
Sherman Edwards
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
