Tammy Wynette - What's Your Mama's Name Child Lyrics
What's your mama's name child, what's your mama's nameThirty some odd years ago a young man came to MemphisAskin' 'bout a rose that used to blossom in his worldPeople never took the time to mind the young man's questionsTill one day they heard him ask a little green eyed girlWhat's your mama's name child, what's your mama's nameDoes she ever talk about a place called New OrleansHas she ever mentioned a man named Buford WilsonWhat's your mama's name child, what's your mama's nameTwenty some odd years ago a drunkard down in MemphisLost a month of life and labor to the county jailJust because he asked a little green eyed girl a questionAnd offered her a nickel's worth of candy if she'd tellA year and some odd days ago an old man died in MemphisJust another wayward soul the county had to claimInside the old man's ragged coat they found a faded letterThat said you have a daughter and her eyes are Wilson greenWhat's your mama's name child, what's your mama's nameDoes she ever talk about a place called New OrleansHas she ever mentioned a man named Buford WilsonWhat's your mama's name child, what's your mama's nameWhat's your mama's name child, what's your mama's name
