Oh... mama, mama
My sweet mama

My daddy was a good old man
But he died since I was one
So you see it was my mother alone
With the responsibility in her hand
She shook her heart to food and send us to school
She didn't want us to go like fools
And now I've got to give thanks
For the good things she has done
Know mama I love you true
And I know you love me too

Oh mama, mama I won't make you blue
I wish that every mama was as sweet as you are
I know I know I know you’re my shining star
Stay by me never go too far

Oh mama
You can depend On me now
Cause I see you've tried your best
Now it's up to me to do the rest

Mama taught us how to pray
I can remember hear mama say (yeah)
Our father give us this day
Our daily bread And all our necessary needs
Oh Jah I beg you please

Oh one day I saw mama with a bible in her hand
Reading and praying, tears rolling from her eyes
I hushed when saying mama please don't cry
Just to member God is standing by

See mama
You can depend on me now
Cause I see you've tried your best
Now it's up to me to do the rest

I'm gonna work until I’m old and grey
Because mama is depending on me
It doesn’t matter what I do now
I just to got to get her bread somehow
Lord make me capable
To put food on mama's table

Oh mama, mama I won't make you blue
I wish that every mama was as sweet as you are
I know I know I know you're my shining star
Stay by me never go too far

Oh mama
You can depend On me now
Cause I see you've tried your best
Now it's up to me to do the rest

Mama
You can depend On me now
Cause I see you've tried your best
Now it's up to me to do the rest

Oh... mama Mama

Oh mama
You can depend On me now
Cause I see you've tried your best
Now it's up to me to do the rest
