| Consider, how she make it to the end of the day
|
| Working so hard just to get paid
|
| As a single parent life ain’t easy
|
| Playing the role of mom and dad
|
| Repeat Chorus
|
| Woman I thank you, thank oh mama mama
|
| I never know no father yet you provide my dinner
|
| And I love you oh mama
|
| When you cry I cry too
|
| Why do you look so dull and forsaken
|
| I know he is gone and your heart is broken
|
| But we are still together
|
| Mama never leave us alone at home no
|
| Won’t turn my back, and you can count on that
|
| If I should go I shall be coming right back
|
| That motherly love gently tucking me in the sack
|
| Bedtime kisses and hugs I feel as if Im taking back
|
| How sweet you are let me number the ways
|
| I asked the father guide you for the rest of your days
|
| Anyhowit gone bad already can’t stop him now
|
| Weve got to survive some way some how
|
| Nuh fret and mawga down better must come
|
| From the lord ordain thy will must be done
|
| Nuh expose yuh linen dirt ever deh pon di ground
|
| Nuh make di world know bout yu
|
| Yu character pipe will bung
|
| Go on Buju the Banton with words of wisdom
|
| Woman hold your head up not down |
