Tanya Tucker - What's Your Mama's Name songtekst
Je score:
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 used 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 off years ago, a drunkard down in Memphis Lost a month of life in labour 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'd had to pay 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?
