Thiry 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 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 Bueferd Wilson What's your mama's name child What's your mama's name Twenty some odd years ago A drunk went 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 Letras de cancionesA year and some odd days ago An old man died in Memphis Just another wayward So the county had to claim Inside the old mans ragged coat They found a faded letter It said you have a daughter And her eyes are Wilson green Reapeat Chorus From Letras Mania
