[Intro]
G C G D7 G What's your mama's name child, what's your mama's name?
[Verse 1]
G D7 C G Thirty some odd years ago a young man came to Memphis G D7 C G Asking 'bout a rose that used to blossom in his world G D7 C G People never took the time to mind the young man's questions G A7 D7 G Till one day they heard him ask a little green eyed girl
[Chorus]
G C D G What's your mama's name child, what's your mama's name? G 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?
[Verse 2]
G D7 C G Twenty some odd years ago a drunkard down in Memphis G D7 C G Lost a month of life in labor to the county jail G D7 C G Just because he asked a little green eyed girl a question G A7 D7 G And offered her a nickel's worth of candy if she'd tell
[Chorus]
G C D G What's your mama's name child, what's your mama's name? G 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?
[Verse 3]
G D7 C G A year and some odd days ago an old man died in Memphis G D7 C G Just another wayward soul the county'd have to pay G D7 C G Inside the old man's ragged coat they found a faded letter G A7 D7 G It said you have a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green
[Chorus]
G C D G What's your mama's name child, what's your mama's name? G 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?
