Brenda Fassie - Too Late For Mama Lyrics

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,
(?)
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,
Lay her down on the grass (?)

Too late...too late for mama
It was too late...too late

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,
(?)
But it was too late
It was too late...too late for mama

It was too late (repeat w/ad-libs)

She's gone...she's gone...poor mama

It was too late (repeat w/ad-libs)
