[Gm] What's your [Eb] mama's name, child?
[Dbm] [Bb] What's your
[Fm] [Cm] mama's [Eb]
[Bb] name?
Thirty [Eb]-some odd years ago, a young man [Bb] came to Memphis
Asking [F] about a rose that [Eb] used to blossom in [Bb] his world
People never [Ab] took the time [Eb] to mind the young [Bb] man's questions
Until one day they [Cm] heard him ask a little green-eyed [Bb] girl
What's your [Eb] mama's name, child?
[F] What's your [Bb] mama's name?
Does she [Eb] ever talk about [Bb] a place called New [F] Orleans?
[Bb] Has she [F] ever mentioned [D] a man named [Eb] Buford Wilson?
[Am] [Bb] What's your [Eb] mama's name, [Bb] child?
What's [F] your [Bb] mama's name?
[B]
Twenty-some [A] odd years ago, [E] a drunkard down [B] in Memphis
Lost a month [Gb] of life and labor [E] to the county [B] jail
Just because [A] he asked a [E] little green-eyed girl [B] a question
And offered her [Dbm] a nickel's worth [Gb] of candy if [B] she'd tell
[C]
A year and some [Bb] odd days ago, [F] an old man died [C] in Memphis
Just another [G] wayward soul [F] the county had to blame
[C]
Inside the old [Bb] man's ragged coat [F] they found a faded [C] letter
Said you have [Dm] a daughter and [G] her eyes are Wilson [C]
green
What's your [F] mama's name, [G] child?
What's your [C] mama's name?
Does she [F] ever [C] talk about a place called New [G] Orleans?
[C] Has she [G] ever [C] mentioned a man named [F] Buford Wilson?
[Am] [B] [C]
What's your [F] mama's name, [C] child?
What's [G] your [C] mama's name?
What's your [F] mama's name, child?
What's
[C] [G] your [F]
mama's name?
