Mama, if you could see me now

I'm not the boy you knew in Macon town 
                                   F 
They found a uniform about my size 

It's a little big I guess, but that's alright

The men all say I brought this good luck spell

I am the mascot of the Ninth Brigade 

They will not march unless I lead the way

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

He said that I could keep his Bowie knife

Mama, I do not have a gun

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

Yankee fires as far as I could see

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

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

                                                G     
But something happened when I saw those Yankees come 
    C                                   F 
Now I've been running now a week or two 

Too ashamed to run back home to you
