It was the third of September.
|
That 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, tell me the truth.
|
|
And Mama just 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."
|
"Papa was a rolling stone
|
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
|
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
|
|
Well, well.
|
|
Hey Mama, is it true what they say,
|
that Papa never worked a day in his life?
|
And Mama, bad talk going around town
|
saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.
|
And that ain't right.
|
HEARD talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.
|
TalkIN about saving souls and all the time leeching.
|
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.
|
|
Mama just 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."
|
come on come on come on yeah
|
"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone.
|
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
|
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
|
|
Uh!
|
|
Hey Mama, I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trade.
|
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 was never 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,
|
Papa was a rolling 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 rolling stone.
|
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
|
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
|
|
"I said, Papa was a rolling stone.
|
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
|
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
