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

Album: Best Of Tanya Tucker (1992)

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

Thirty some odd yeahrs ago a young man came to Memphis
Asking ´bout a rose that use 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 yeahrs ago a drunkard down in Memphis
Lost a month of life & labored to the county jail
Just because he asked a little green eyed girl a question
And offered her a nickels worth of candy if she would tell

A yeahr & some odd days ago an old man died in Memphis
Just another wayward soul the county had to claim
Inside the old mans ragged coat they found a faded letter
It said you´ve 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 Buford 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
