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 diedI never got a chance to see himNever heard nothin’ but bad things about himMomma I’m depending on you to tell me the truthMomma just hung her head and said, son
Papa was a rolling stoneWherever he laid his hat was his homeAnd when he died, all he left us was alonePapa was a rolling stone (my son, yeah)Wherever he laid his hat was his homeAnd 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 lifeAnd Momma, some bad talk goin’ round town sayin’ thatPapa had three outside childrenAnd another wife, and that ain’t rightHeard some talk Papa doing some storefront preachin’Talking about saving souls and all the time leechin’Dealing in dirt, and stealing in the name of the LordMomma just hung her head and said
Papa was a rolling stone (my son)Wherever he laid his hat was his homeAnd when he died, all he left us was aloneHey Papa was a rolling stone (dad gumma it)Where ever he laid his hat was his homeAnd when he died, all he left us was alone
Hey MommaI heard Papa called himself a jack-of-all-tradesTell me is that what sent Papa to an early graveFolks say Papa would beg, borrow, stealTo pay his billsHey MommaFolks say Papa never was much on thinkingSpent most of his time chasing women and drinkingMomma I’m depending on you to tell me the truthMomma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son
Papa was a rolling stone (well, well, well, well)Wherever he laid his hat was his homeAnd when he died, all he left us was alone (lone, lone, lone, alone)Papa was a rolling stoneWherever he laid his hat was his homeAnd when he died, all he left us was alone
Wherever he laid his hat was his homeAnd when he died, all he left us was aloneMy daddy wasPapa was a rolling stone (yes he was, yeah)Wherever he laid his hat was his home)
