《What’s Your Mama’s Name Child》歌词

[00:00:00] What's your mama's name, child?

[00:00:07] What's your mama's name.

[00:00:15] Thirty some odd years ago, a young man came to Memphis.

[00:00:21] 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,

[00:00:35] Until one day they heard him ask a little green-eyed girl:

[00:00:42] What's your mama's name, child?

[00:00:45] What's your mama's name?

[00:00:48] Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans.

[00:00:56] Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson?

[00:01:04] What's your mama's name, child?

[00:01:06] What's your mama's name?

[00:01:14] Twenty some off years ago, a drunkard down in Memphis,

[00:01:20] Lost a month of life in labour to the county jail.

[00:01:28] Just because he asked a little green-eyed girl a question,

[00:01:33] And offered her a nickel's worth of candy if she'd tell.

[00:01:44] A year and some odd days ago, an old man died in Memphis.

[00:01:50] Just another wayward soul, the county'd had to pay.

[00:01:57] Inside the old man's ragged coat, they found a faded letter.

[00:02:04] It said: "You have a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green."

[00:02:14] What's your mama's name, child?

[00:02:17] What's your mama's name?

[00:02:20] Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans.

[00:02:28] Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson?

[00:02:35] What's your mama's name, child?

[00:02:38] What's your mama's name?

[00:02:41] What's your mama's name, child?

[00:02:48] What's your mama's name?
