To Late For Mamma - Live

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 lightning on the way to fetch some water

She tried hiding under the tree to save the child
Poor woman had no place to go
Lightning got her with her baby on her back
Friends, relatives ran for her

It was too late (Too late for mama)
Too late for mama
Too late for mama
Mama with a little baby (Too late for mama, too late for mama)
She's gone (Too late for mama)
It was too late (Too late for mama)
(Too late, too late, too late, too late for mama)

Husband came running to the scene
Poor man had his dead wife in his arms
Eyes full of tears, not believing the nightmare
Knelt down and prayed to the Lord

It was too late (Too late for mama)
Too late for mama (Too late for mama)
Too late for mama (Too late for mama)
Mama, with a little baby (Too late for mama, too late for mama)
She's gone (Too late for mama)
It was too late
Too late, too late, too late
Too late for mama

Too late for mama (Too late for mama)
Too late for mama (Too late for mama)
Too late for mama (Too late for mama)
Mama with a little baby (Too late for mama, too late for mama)
She's gone (Too late for mama)
It was too late
Too late, too late, too late
Too late for mama

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 lightning on her way
To fetch some water

(Too late for mama)
Too late for mama (Too late for mama)
Too late for mama (Too late for mama)
Mama with a little baby (Too late for mama)
She's gone (Too late for mama)
It was too late (Too late for mama)
(Too late, too late, too late, too late for mama)

She tried hiding under the tree to save the child
Poor woman had no place to go
Lightning got her with her baby on her back
Friends, relatives ran for her

It was too late (Too late for mama)
Too late for mama (Too late for mama)
Too late for mama (Too late for mama)
Mama with a little baby (Too late for mama)
She's gone (Too late for mama)
It was too late (Too late for mama)
Too late, too late, too late, too late for mama (Too late for mama)

Too late for mama (Too late for mama)
Too late for mama (Too late for mama)
Ooh mama (Too late for mama)
(Too late for mama) Her daughter
(Too late for mama)
It was too late (Too late for mama)
Too late, too late, too late, too late for mama
