Song ID Help!!! Please someone help me!!

Post by Rach »

I am looking for the artist of this song....

He is more talking than singing and these are some of the lyrics...

oh mama thank you, thank you oh mama thank you...

he talks about his mother, how he went to prep school, how she left jamaica to make money and sent for him

and there is a line where he says "I couldnt understand why"

i think Garnet Silk did a song 'Oh Mama' or something, not sure if thats the song title, goes like:
'Oh Mama you can depend on mi now....'

there's loads of songs dedicated to Mothers in reggae...

Linton Kwesi Johnson also talks about Mama in 'Sonny's Lettah' if i remember rightly and he is talking not singing.
