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 Asking bout a rose that used to blossom in his world People never took the time to mind the young man's questions Till 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 country 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 have 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
