Mama, if you could see me now
I'm not the boy you knew in Macon 
G       C
town
                                   F
They found a uniform about my size

It's a little big I guess, but 
that's alright
C        G                C
Mama, if you could see me now


              G                 C
Mama, they're treating me right well
The men all say I brought this good 
     G        C
luck spell
I am the mascot of the Ninth Brigade
 F


They will not march unless I lead 
the way
C             G                 C
Mama, they're treating me right well

I'm only lucky when I'm banging on 
   G        C
my drum
And I skinned a rabbit for the cook 
           F
last night

He said that I could keep his Bowie 
knife
C       G             C
Mama, I do not have a gun


        G            C
Mama, I lost my arrowhead
It was big enough to strike a bobcat
 G        C
 dead
Must've fallen when I climbed that 
     F
tree

Yankee fires as far as I could see
C       G            C
Mama, I lost my arrowhead


          G                  C
Mama, the troops are falling in
And we must move while we've still 
        G        C
got the wind
The scouts are fanning out like 
              F
whippoorwills

Today we're marching over Bloody 
Hill
C         G                  C
Mama, the troops are falling in

Mama, I never thought I'd run
But something happened when I saw 
              G
those Yankees come
    C                              
Now I've been running now a week or
     F

Too ashamed to run back home to you
