What's Your Mama's Name Child Lyrics - Hits - 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 

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 Bufford 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, a 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 

That said you've got a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green.
