Ten kilometres barefooted in the bush
Started raining on the way to fetch some water
Poor woman had a baby on her back
Was struck by lightening on the way
To fetch some water oh yeah (we mama ye)
She tried hiding under a tree to save her child (we mama ye)
Poor woman had no place to go (we mama ye)
Lightening caught her with her baby on her back (we mama ye)
Friends, relatives ran for her
But it was too late (for mama, mama)
For mama (for mama, mama)
It was too late (for mama, mama)
Too late for mama (for mama, mama)
Oh poor mama (for mama, mama)
Oh mama mama (for mama, mama)
It was too late (for mama, mama)
Too late (for mama, mama)
Husband came running to the scene yeah (we mama ye)
Poor man held his dead wife in his arms (we mama ye)
Eyes full of tears not believing the nightmare (we mama ye)
Knelt down and prayed, for this was a painful loss (for mama, mama)
I yoh yoh yoh
It was too late (for mama, mama)
Too late for mama (for mama, mama)
Oh poor mama (for mama, mama)
Oh mama mama (for mama, mama)
It was too late (for mama, mama)
Too late (for mama, mama)
For mama (for mama, mama)
Mama with a little baby (for mama, mama)
She's gone (for mama, mama)
Mama with a little baby (for mama, mama)
She's gone (for mama, mama)
My ma, my mama (for mama, mama)
Ma, ma, ma, ma! (for mama, mama)
Too late for mama (for mama, mama)
For mama (for mama, mama)
Mama with a little baby (for mama, mama)
She's gone (for mama, mama)
Mama with a little baby (for mama, mama)
She's gone (for mama, mama)
My ma, my mama (for mama, mama)
Mama (for mama, mama)
She tried hiding under a tree to save her child (we mama)
Poor woman had no place to go (we mama)
Lightening caught her with her baby on her back (we mama)
Friends, relatives ran for her
But it was too late (for mama, mama)
Too late for mama (for mama, mama)
Mama with a little baby (for mama, mama)
She's gone (for mama, mama)
Mama with a little baby (for mama, mama)
