Tanya Tucker - What´s Your Mama´s Name, Child? lyrics

What´s your mama´s name child?
What´s your mama´s name?

Thirty 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

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 Bufford Wilson?
What´s your mama´s name, child?
What´s your mama´s name?

Twenty some odd yeahrs ago, a drunkard 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, a 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 got a daughter & her eyes are Wilson green.

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 Bufford 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?
