Biography:
Richard Shindell (born 3 August 1960, Lakehurst, New Jersey) is an American folk singer. While dividing his time between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and New York's Hudson Valley, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, and juxtapose ideas and images.
Shindell's songwriting often involves storytelling from a first-person point of view: for example, from an INS officer and illegal immigrant in "Fishing", to a World War II soldier in "Sparrows Point"

Mama, if you could see me now
G C
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
C G C
Mama, if you could see me now
G C
Mama, they're treating me right well
G C
The men all say I brought this good luck spell
F
I am the mascot of the Ninth Brigade
They will not march unless I lead the way
C G C
Mama, they're treating me right well
G C
Mama, I do not have a gun
G C
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
C G C
Mama, I do not have a gun
G C
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
C G C
Mama, I lost my arrowhead
G C
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

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 run back home to you
