What My Name Is
What my name is...
What my name is, I ask and noone knew
Sitting down alone feelin'real blue
What my name is, Mama did and could not tell me
O'my Lard what could it be...
What my name is, I want know
Because my Mama did not tell me so
My chill'ren want know what my name is, O'my Lard!
...and this I can't avard't...
Aunt Lou, what my name is, "No baby, I don't know"
I think yo'daddy's name was Morgan, but I am not fo'show
Uncle Fred, what my name is, "No, don't chu' know
I think yo'daddy's name was Grant, but I am not fo'show
What my name is, this can not be
Where do fit in the family tree...
