Papa Was A Rolling Stone

It was the third of

SeptemberThat day

I'll always remember, yes,

I will'Cause that was the day that my daddy died

I never got a chance to see him

Never heard nothin' but bad things about him

Momma, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

Momma hung her head and said

Papa was a rolling stone

Where ever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

Papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

Hey momma, is it true what they say

That papa never worked a day in his life?

And momma, there's some bad talk goin' 'round town

That papa had three outside children and another wife

Heard some talk about papa doing some store front preachin'

Talked about saving souls and all the time leaching

Dealing in debt, stealing in the name of the law

Momma hung her head and said

Papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

Son, papa was a rolling stone, yeah, you know it

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

Oh yeahCome on, tell me, hey momma

I heard papa called himself a jack of all trades

Tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave

Folks say papa would beg, borrow, steal

To pay his bills

Folks say papa never was much on thinking

Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking

Momma, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

Papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

You know, papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone[Incomprehensible]

Papa was a rolling stone, yeah, you know it

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

Hey, you know how much you owe

Papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

Nothing but some bad days of [Incomprehensible]

Papa was a rolling stone
