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
A 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
