Mmm-hmm-mmm
Mm-mm-mmm
Yea
Ten kilometers barefooted in the bush
Started raining on the way to fetch some water
Poor woman had a baby on her back
Was struck by lightning on her way
To fetch some water
She tried hiding under a tree to save her child
Poor woman had no place to go
Lightning caught her with her baby on her back
Friends, relatives ran for her
It was too late
It was too late
Too late for mama
Oh no
Husband came running to the scene, yeah
Poor man held his dead wife in his arms
Eyes full of tears not believing the nightmare
Knelt down and prayed if this was a dream or not
It was too late
Too late for mama
Mama, oh, oh poor mama
It was too late
Too late
Too late for mama
For mama
Mama passed away
She's gone
She's gone
But she's gone
Oh, poor mama
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
But too late
"Mmm-hmm, that does it"
Said Danny
Like mama
Oh, poor mama
Wait for mama
I'll wait for mama
Ten kilometers barefooted in the bush
Started raining on the way to fetch some water
Poor woman had a baby on her back
Was struck by lightning on her way
To fetch some water
It was too late
Too late for mama
Oh ma-mama, oh poor mama
It was too late
Too late
She tried hiding under the tree to save her child
Poor woman had no place to hide
Lightning caught her with her baby on her back
Friends and relatives ran for her
But too late, wait for mama
Too late
Too late for mama
Oh ma-mama
Oh, poor mama
