george jones – what’s your mama’s name lyrics
thirty some odd years ago a young man came to memphis
askin’ bout a rose that used to blossom in his world
people never took the time to mind the young man’s questions
untill one day they heard him ask a little green eyed girl
what’s your mama’s name child what’s your mama’s name
does she ever talk about a place called new orleans
has she ever mentioned a man named buford wilson
what’s your mama’s name child what’s your mama’s name
twenty some odd years ago a drunkard down in memphis
lost a month of life and labored to the county jail
just because he asked a little green eyed girl a question
and offered her a nickel’s worth of candy if she’d tell
a year and some odd days ago an old man died in memphis
just another wayward soul the county had to claim
inside the old man’s ragged coat they found a faded letter
that said you got a daughter and her eyes are wilson green
what’s your mama’s name child…
what’s your mama’s name child what’s your mama’s name
