Too Late For Mama

Lyrics

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
 It was too late
 Too late
 (Too late for mama)
 (Poor mama)
