1776 Original Cast Recording movie - Momma Look Sharp lyrics

rate me

<br>

Courier:<br>

Momma, hey momma, come lookin' for me<br>

I'm here in the meadow by the red maple tree<br>

Momma, hey momma, look sharp, here I be<br>

Hey, hey, momma look sharp<br>

<br>

Them soldiers, they fired. Oh ma, did we run<br>

But then we turned round and the battle begun<br>

Then I went under, oh ma, am I done?<br>

Hey, hey, momma look sharp<br>

<br>

My eyes are wide open, my face to the sky<br>

Is that you I'm hearin' in the tall grass nearby?<br>

Momma come find me before I do die<br>

Hey, hey, momma look sharp<br>

All:<br>

I'll close your eyes, my Billy<br>

Them eyes that cannot see<br>

And I'll bury you, my Billy<br>

Beneath the maple tree<br>

Courier:<br>

And never again will you whisper to me<br>

Hey, hey, momma look sharp<br>

<br>
