What's Your Mama's Name
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
