What's your mama's name, child?
[Fm] What's your
[Cm] mama's [Eb]
[Bb] name?
[Eb] Thirty-some odd years ago, a young man came [Bb] to Memphis
Asking about [F] a rose that used [Eb] to blossom in his [Bb]
world
People [Ab] never took the [Eb] time to mind the young [Bb] man's questions
Until one day [Cm] they heard him ask [F] a little green [Bb]-eyed girl
What's your [Eb] mama's name, child?
[F] What's your [Bb] mama's name?
Does she ever [Eb] talk about [Bb] a place called New [F] Orleans?

Twenty-some [A] odd years ago, [E] a drunkard down [B] in Memphis
Lost a month [Gb] of life and [E] labor to the [B] county 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
A [C]
year and some [Bb] odd days ago, [F] an old man died [C] in Memphis
Just another [G] wayward soul [F] the county had [C] to blame
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 [C] Wilson green
