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. |
Oooh, 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) oh All he left us was ALONE.» |
«Papa was a rolling stone, yeah yeah yeah |
Wherever he laid his hat was his home. |
(And when he died) oh All he left us was ALONE.» |
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 another wife. |
And that ain’t right. |
HEARD SOME talk about Papa doing some store front preaching. |
Talked 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) oh All he left us was ALONE.» |
«Papa was a rolling stone. |
nah nah nah |
Wherever he laid his hat was his home. |
(And when he died) oh All he left us was ALONE.» |
Hey Mama, I heard Papa call 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 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. |
«Papa was a rolling stone. |
nah nah nah |
Wherever he laid his hat was his home. |
(And when he died) oh 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, lone lone lone.» |
«Papa was a rolling stone. |
Wherever he laid his hat was his home. |
(And when he died) oh All he left us was ALONE, alone alone, lone lone.» |
«Papa was a rolling stone. |
Wherever he laid his hat was his home. |
(And when he died) oh All he left us was ALONE, alone alone, lone lone.» |
«Papa was a rolling stone…» |
(fade out) |
