Original Motion Picture Cast of 1776
Momma, Look Sharp
[COURIER]
Momma, hey momma
Come lookin' 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 then we turned 'round
And 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 hearin'
In the tall grass nearby?
Momma, come find me
Before I do die
Hey, hey
Momma! Look sharp

[COURIER, ANDREW MCNAIR & LEATHER APRON]
I'll close your eyes, my Billy
Them eyes that cannot see
And I'll bury ya, my Billy
Beneath the maple tree

[COURIER]
And never again
Will ya whisper to me
Hey, hey
Oh, Momma, look sharp
