Arrowhead |
| Mama, if you could see me now |
| I’m not the boy you knew in Macon town |
| They found a uniform about my size |
| It’s a little big I guess, but that’s alright |
| Mama, if you could see me know |
| Mama, they’re treating me right well |
| The men all say I brought this good luck spell |
| I am the mascot of the Third Brigade |
| They will not march unless I lead the way |
| Mama, they’re treating me right well |
| Mama, I do not have a gun |
| I’m only lucky when I’m banging on my drum |
| But 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 |
| It was big enough to strike a bobcat dead |
| Must’ve fallen when I climbed that tree |
| Yankee fires as far as I could see |
| Mama, I lost my arrowhead |
| Mama, the troops are falling in |
| And we must move while we’ve still got the wind |
| The scouts are fanning out like whippoorwills |
| Today we’re marching over Bloody Hill |
| Mama, the troops are falling in |
| Mama, I never thought I’d run |
| But something happened when I saw those Yankees come |
| Now I’ve been running now a week or two |
| Too ashamed to come back home to you |
| Mama, I never thought I’d run |
