tanya tucker - what's your mama's name child lyrics
what’s your mama’s name child?
what’s your mama’s name?
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
until 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 bufford 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 labor 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, a 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’ve got a daughter and her eyes are wilson green.
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 bufford wilson?
what’s your mama’s name, child?
what’s your mama’s name?
what’s your mama’s name child?
what’s your mama’s name?
