Tanya Tucker - What´s Your Mama´A Name lyrics

Thiry some odd yeahrs 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
Till 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 yeahrs ago
A drunk went down in Memphis
Lost a month of life & 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 would tell

A yeahr & 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´ve a daughter
And her eyes are Wilson green

Reapeat Chorus
