Momma, hey Momma, come looking for me
E G D A E
I'm here in the meadow by the red maple tree
E G D A E
Momma, hey Momma, look sharp, here I be
A D A E
Hey, hey, Momma, look sharp
E G D A E
Them soldiers they fired, oh Ma did we run
E G D A E
But then we turned round and the battle begun
E G D A E
Then I went under, oh Ma am I done
A D A E
Hey, hey, Momma, look sharp
E G D A E
My eyes are wide open, my face to the sky
E G D A E
Is that you I'm hearing in the tall grass nearby?
E G D A E
Momma, come find me before I do die
A D A E
Hey, hey, Momma, look sharp
E A
I'll close your eyes, my Billy
E A
Them eyes that cannot see
E A
And I'll bury you, my Billy
E A
Beneath the maple tree
E G D A E
And never again will you whisper to me
A D A E
Hey, hey, oh Momma, look sharp
