Lyrics

Mama

Mama’s gone away
Mama, she’s gone away
She’s lying in her bed

Mama, she isn’t dead
Mama, you’re not dead
I left you lying, hyena’s bed
She stands up and walks away
Singing, we hear her today

Mama, she isn’t dead
We left you lying
Alone in that bed
I see her,
The hyena’s face
She stands up,
And walks away
Singing we hear her today

Oh sweet mama, we hear her today
Oh mama, the hyena’s face
Where we left you lying
The sun on your face
You stand up
You walk away
Singing we hear you today
Singing we hear you today
Singing we hear you today
