What's Your Mama's Name 歌詞
What's Your Mama's Name - Tanya Tucker
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
What's your mama's name child
What's your mama's name
