Cher Mama Look Sharp Lyrics

Mama Look Sharp Lyrics

MAMA LOOK SHARP



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
