《What’s Your Mama’s Name》歌词

[00:00:01] What's your mama's name child

[00:00:06] What's your mama's name

[00:00:16] Thirty some odd years ago

[00:00:18] A young man came to Memphis

[00:00:22] Asking 'bout a rose that used to blossom in his world

[00:00:29] People never too the time to mind the young man's questions

[00:00:34] Until one day they heard him ask a little green-eyed girl:

[00:00:41] What's your mama's name child

[00:00:43] What's your mama's name

[00:00:47] Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans

[00:00:54] Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson

[00:01:00] What's your mama's name child

[00:01:03] What's your mama's name

[00:01:10] Twenty some off years ago

[00:01:13] A drunkard down in Memphis

[00:01:15] Lost a month of life in labour to the county jail

[00:01:22] Just because he asked a little green-eyed girl a question

[00:01:28] And offered her a nickel's worth of candy if she'd tell

[00:01:37] A year and some odd days ago

[00:01:40] An old man died in Memphis

[00:01:43] Just another wayward soul

[00:01:45] The county'd had to pay

[00:01:50] Inside the old man's ragged coat

[00:01:53] They found a faded letter

[00:01:55] It said: "You have a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green "

[00:02:06] What's your mama's name child

[00:02:08] What's your mama's name

[00:02:11] Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans

[00:02:18] Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson

[00:02:26] What's your mama's name child

[00:02:28] What's your mama's name

[00:02:31] What's your mama's name child

[00:02:36] What's your mama's name
