Loading...

what`s your mama`s name, child?
what`s your mama`s name?

[verse 1:]
thirty some odd years ago
a young man came to memphis
asking about 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

[chorus:]
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?

[verse 2:]
twenty some odd years ago
a drunk 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
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
it said you have a daughter
and her eyes are wilson green

[chorus:]
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?
what`s your mama’s name, child?
what`s your mama’s name?
