What's Your Mama's Name
Lyricist:Dallas Frazier, Earl Montgomery
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 Bueferd Wilson? What's your mama's name child? What's your mama's name?
Twenty some odd years ago A drunk went down in Memphis Lost a month of life and labor To the county jail
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 So the county had to claim
Inside the old mans 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 Bueferd 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?
