C G D7 G
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
D7 C G
Thirty some odd years ago a young man came to Memphis
D7 C G
Asking bout a rose that used to blossom in his world
D7 C G
People never took the time to mind the young man's questions
D7 G
Till one day they heard him ask a little green eyed girl
C D7 G
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
C G D7
Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans
G D7 G C
Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson
G C G D7 G
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
D7 C G
Twenty some odd years ago a drunkard down in Memphis
D7 C G
Lost a month of life in labor to the county jail
D7 C G
Just because he asked a little green eyed girl a question
D7 G
And offered her a nickels worth of candy if she'd tell
Repeat #2
D7 C G
A year and some odd days ago an old man died in Memphis
D7 C G
Just another wayward soul the county'd have to pay
D7 C G
Inside the old man's ragged coat they found a faded letter
D7 G
It said you have a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green
Repeat #2
