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 too the time to mind the young man`s questions,
Until 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 off years ago, a drunkard down in Memphis,
Lost a month of life in labour 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 soul, the county`d had to pay.
Inside the old man`s ragged coat, they found a faded letter.
It said: `You have a daughter and 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?
