Whats Your Mamas Name Child Cifras

[Intro]
A                  D           A           E      A
What's your mama's name child  what's your mama's name
 
{Verse 1]
A               E           D                 A
Thirty some odd years ago a young man came to Memphis
A             E                 D              A
Asking bout a rose that used to blossom in his world
A            E                D                    A
People never took the time to mind the young man's questions
A                  E               D                 A
‘Till one day they heard him ask a little green-eyed girl
 
[Chorus]
A                  D          E                  A
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
A             D            A                E
Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans
A            E           A                D
Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson
A                  D          A           E      A
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name

[Verse 2]
A               E           D                A
Twenty some odd years ago a drunkard down in Memphis
A               E             D             A
Lost a month of life in labor to the county jail
A               E              D                 A
Just because he asked a little green-eyed girl a question
A                 E                D              A
And offered her a nickels worth of candy if she'd tell

[Verse 3]
A                   E           D               A
A year and some odd days ago an old man died in Memphis
A            E                D                A
Just another wayward soul the county'd have to pay
A                    E                D             A
Inside the old man's ragged coat they found a faded letter
 A                 E                D               A
It said you have a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green
 
 
[Chorus]
A                  D          E                  A
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
A             D            A                E
Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans
A            E           A                D
Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson
A                  D          A           E      A
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
A                  D          A           E      Asus4     A
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name?
