Papa Was a Rolling Stone

It was the third of September

That day I'll always remember, yes I will

'Cause that was the day that my daddy died

(Look y'all, listen) 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 just hung her head and said

Your papa was a rolling stone, well

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

I said, your papa was a rolling stone

(Well, well) 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, Papa never worked a day in his life

And Momma, some bad talk's goin' round town

Sayin' Papa had three outside children

And another wife, now that ain't right

Hey Papa out there doing some storefront preachin'

Spend most of his time chasin' women and preachin'

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

My Momma just hung her head and said

Your papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

Can you hear me, your papa was a rolling stone

Well, well, wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone
