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 be Hey, hey momma, look sharp Them soldiers they fired Oh ma did we run But when we turned around 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 grass near by Ah momma come find me Before I do die
Hey, hey momma, look sharp I´ll close your eyes, my Billy Those 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
