(Intro: Lady Jenny)
Yeah man... standard!
Dis one na for di backbone of di nation.
For di queen of mi heart, di one and only Doris Hawa Gaima.
And all di hardworking mama dem across Salone, from Bo Town to di whole wide world.
Lady Jenny pon di mic, di Dancehall Queen, black beauty with brain!
SQB, South Side connection, you don know say di vibe sweet and e get melody.
Listen now!
(Chorus)
Mama Doris, you na champion, you na star,
Di hardest working mama, near and far.
With you courage and your fine-fine smile,
You di walk extra mile, you di make life worthwhile.
Oh, sweet mama, Salone first lady,
We love you today and we love you daily.
To all di beautiful mother dem all over di world,
We lift your name high, mek di music play!
(Verse 1)
From di street dem of Bo Town, I see di struggle and di grace,
How one mama di put food pon table, with smile pon e face.
Mama Doris Hawa Gaima, you nor ever mek we fall,
When di night get dark, you always answer we call.
You di work till your hand dem tire, but your spirit nor go break,
All di sacrifice you di make, for your pikin dem sake.
You give we sense, you give we beauty, you teach we wetin right,
Na dat mek di Dancehall Queen di sing dis sweet song tonight!
(Chorus)
Mama Doris, you na champion, you na star,
Di hardest working mama, near and far.
With your courage and your fine-fine smile,
You di walk extra mile, you di make life worthwhile.
Oh, sweet mama, Salone first lady,
We love you today and we love you daily.
To all di beautiful mother dem all over di world,
We lift your name high, mek di music play!
(Verse 2)
From Freetown go Kenema, Makeni go Bo City,
Salone titi dem di grow up strong and witty.
Because di mama dem di guide, di mama dem di build,
With love and affection, every heart dem filled.
No matter how di weather, rain or hot sun,
Mama go stand up and say "Everything go fine, my son."
From di Mo Fire days, I know wetin e mean for survive,
Na mama e prayer di keep we youth dem alive!
(Bridge)
Hawa Gaima, one beacon of light so bright,
Di guide your family through all di dark night.
Courageous woman, sweet melody,
Dis na your anthem from Lady Jenny!
All over di world, mek di reggae bass line roll,
For all di mama dem we get pure, golden soul.
(Chorus)
Mama Doris, you na champion, you na star,
Di hardest working mama, near and far.
With your courage and your fine-fine smile,
You di walk extra mile, you di make life worthwhile.
Oh, sweet mama, Salone first lady,
We love you today and we love you daily.
To all di beautiful mother dem all over di world,
We lift your name high, mek di music play!
(Outro)
Yeah, di multi-talented black beauty with brain.

To Mama Doris Hawa Gaima, we appreciate you, Ma.
To every mother in Sierra Leone and all over di world...
We love you. We bless you.
Maximum respect forever!
