Papa was a rolling stone





It was the third of September
The 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 nothing but bad things about him
Mama, I'm depending on you, to tell me the 
truth

And mama just hung her head and said,
Son, papa was a rollin stone...my son 'now
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left me was alone
eh! eh! eh! eh..
Papa was a rollin' stone, my son
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left me was alone

Well, well

Hey mama, is it true what they say
That papa never worked a day in his life

And mama, some bad talk going around town 
saying That papa had three outside children and 
a new other wife
And that ain't right

Heard some talk about papa doing some store 
front preaching
Talking about saving souls and all the time 
leeching
Dealing in dirt and stealing in the name of 
the Lord

Mama just hung her head and said
Papa was a rollin' stone, my son
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
Now listen to me...
papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone

Now..now..now...

Uh!

Hey mama, I heard papa called himself a jack 
of all trades
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early 
grave
Folk say papa would beg, borrow, steal to 
pay his bill
Hey mama, folk say that papa never was much 
on thinking
Spent most of his time chasing women and 
drinking
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the 
truth

Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and 
said,
Son, papa was a rollin' stone (well, well, 
well, well)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
Papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone

I said, papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
