5/21/2017

Capo 3

G                 C
What's your mamas name child
G          D      G
Whats your mama's name

G               D            C                 G
Thirty some odd years ago, a young man came to Memphis
G             D                C              G
Askin''bout a rose that use to blossom in his world
G            D                C                    G
People never took the time to mind the young man's questions
G                 Am              D                 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, whats your mama's name
G             C            G                  D
Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans
G            D           G7               C
Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson
G                  C            D                 G
What's your mama's name, child, whats your mama's name


Key change to G#


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 nickle's worth of candy if she'd tell

Key change to A

A year and some odd days ago, an old man died in Memphis
Just another wayward soul, the county had to claim
Inside the olds mans coat they found a ragged letter
It said he had a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green
