paroles de chanson What's Your Mama's Name - 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
Asking 'bout a rose
That use 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 Buford Wilson?
What's your mama's name, child?
What's your mama's name?

Twenty some odd years ago
A drunkard 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 soul
The county had to claim
Inside the old man's 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 Buford 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?
