What's Your Mama's Name, Child - Hit Co. Masters[00:00:00]
What's your mama's name, child,[00:00:03]
What's your mama's name?[00:00:07]
Thirty some odd years ago[00:00:16]
A young man came to Memphis[00:00:18]
Asking about a rose[00:00:21]
That used to blossom in his world[00:00:23]
People never took the time to mind[00:00:28]
The young man's questions[00:00:31]
Till one day they heard him[00:00:33]
Ask a little green eyed girl[00:00:35]
What's your mama's name, child,[00:00:40]
What's your mama's name?[00:00:43]
Does she ever talk about[00:00:45]
A place called New Orleans[00:00:48]
Has she ever mentioned[00:00:53]
A man named Buford Wilson[00:00:55]
What's your mama's name, child,[00:01:00]
What's your mama's name?[00:01:02]
Twenty some odd years ago[00:01:09]
A drunkard down in Memphis[00:01:12]
Lost a month of life and labored to the country jail[00:01:14]
Just because he asked[00:01:20]
A little green eyed girl a question[00:01:23]
And offered her a nickel's worth of candy if she'd tell[00:01:26]
A year and some odd days ago[00:01:36]
An old man died in Memphis[00:01:38]
Just another wayward soul the county had to claim[00:01:41]
Inside the old man's ragged coat[00:01:48]
They found a faded letter[00:01:51]
That said you have a daughter[00:01:53]
And her eyes are Wilson green[00:01:56]
What's your mama's name, child?[00:02:04]
What's your mama's name,[00:02:06]
Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans[00:02:09]
Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson[00:02:16]
What's your mama's name, child,[00:02:23]
What's your mama's name?[00:02:26]
What's your mama's name, child,[00:02:28]
What's your mama's name?[00:02:34]
