What's Your Mama's Name

In the style of

Tanya Tucker

Lyrics

what's your mama's
name child
what's your mama's
name

thirty-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

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
years ago
a drunkard
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 soul
the county
had to claim

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

what's your mama's
name child
what's your mama's
name
