What's your mama's name, child?

Asking about [F] a rose that used [Eb] to blossom in his [Bb]
world

Until one day [Cm] they heard him ask [F] a little green [Bb]-eyed girl

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
