Too Late For Mama - Brenda Fassie

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

But it was too late

It was too late too late for mama

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 for this

Was a painful loss

Too late too late for mama

Oh mama mama poor mama

It was too late too late

Too late for mama

Oh mama

Mama with the little baby

She's gone she's gone

She's gone oh poor mama

Too late

Too late

Too late

Too late

Too late

Too late

Too late

Too late

With mama poor mama with mama

I went mama

Ten kilometers barefooted in the bush

Started raining on the way

To fetch some water

Poor woman had a baby on her back

I struck by lightning on her way

To fetch some water

It was too late

Too late for mama

Oh mama mama poor mama

It was too late too late

She tried hiding under

A tree to save her child

Poor woman had no place to hide

Lightning caught her

With her baby on her back

Friends relatives ran for her

But it was too late too late for mama

Too late too late for mama

Oh mama mama

Oh poor mama it was too late too late

Oh mama mama
