Papa Was A Rolling Stone |
| It was the third of Septemberthat day I’ll 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 I’m depending on you to tell me the truth |
| (Spoken) |
| 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." |
| Hey, mama, I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trades |
| Tell me, is that what sent Papa to an early grave? |
| Folks say Papa would beg, borrow or steal to pay his bills |
| Hey, Mama, folks say Papa was never much on thinkin' |
| Spend most of his time chasin' women and drinkin' |
| Mama, I’m depending on you to tell me the truth |
| Mama just hung her head 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." |
