| Papa was a rolling stone
|
| Wherever he laid his head was his home
|
| And when he died
|
| Oh, he left us all alone
|
| 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
|
| To tell me the truth
|
| Papa was a rolling stone
|
| Papa was a rolling stone
|
| Papa was a, papa was a, papa was a, papa was a
|
| Papa, papa, papa, papa
|
| Oh, papa was a rolling stone
|
| Papa was a rolling stone
|
| Wherever h laid his head was his home
|

| Hey, mama, is it true what the say
|
| That papa never worked a day in his life?
|
| And mama, some bad talk going 'round town
|
| Saying papa had three outside children and another wife
|
| And that ain’t right
|
| And that ain’t right
|
| And that ain’t
|
| Right, right, right, right
