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
