MiscellaneousWhat's Your Mama's Name lyrics by 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 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
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?
