Papa Was A Rolling Stone

It was the third of Septemberthat day Ill always remember
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
Mama Im depending on you to tell me the truth
Mama just looked at him and said 'Son
Papa was a rollin stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when his died
All he left us was alone.' x2

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 aint right.
HEARD SOME 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 my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
（And when he died ） All he left us was ALONE.'
'Hey Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
（And when he died） All he left us was ALONE.'
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 Im depending on you to tell me the truth.
Mama just hung her head and said
'Son 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.' x2
